Welcome to the Sisterhood, Soul, and Strategy Podcast. I'm Stephanie Ross, your host, where I guide you through an empowering journey of growth, connection, and candid conversations that center around sisterhood, soul, and strategy as a small business owner. In this heartfelt solo episode, I open up about my personal journey of making the life-changing decision to step away from my real estate business and focus solely on growing and expanding the Small Business Sister Circle. This difficult decision was about aligning my business with my life values. After 10 years of growing and then eventually closing my fitness and yoga studio followed by 4 years of hustling to grow my real estate business, I realized I had simply traded one business that required a lot of me for another. This episode explores how I realized that my work ethic was closely tied to my self-worth and how I learned to pivot. By redirecting my full focus to Sister Circle, I prioritized sustainability, self-care, and the deep-seated values that truly matter to me.
