In this episode, she shares what it took to leave a high-profile role, unlearn old systems, and trust her instincts as a founder. Beth offers hard-earned wisdom on raising capital, shutting out unhelpful feedback, and remembering what you bring to the table—especially when the world tells you it’s not enough. Her message is clear: the context of our stories is one of the most powerful things we have. Share your story and get connected to the insight you need on your journey.
