Second Act Female Founders — Live from Little Beach House Malibu

In this bonus episode of The Alchemy of Success, we bring you a live panel conversation recorded at Little Beach House in Malibu, featuring a group of founders in what many would consider their “second act.”This conversation explores the realities of building and rebuilding — career pivots, trusting intuition, setting boundaries, and redefining success beyond traditional markers such as money, status, or external validation. Each founder shares their own path, offering a grounded look at what it takes to navigate entrepreneurship in a way that is both sustainable and self-honoring.Across the panel, themes of inner work, resilience, and non-linear growth emerge — alongside honest reflections on failure, timing, and the decisions that shape both business and life.In this episode, we explore:The role of intuition in career pivots and major business decisionsBalancing analytical thinking with instinct and self-trustSetting and maintaining boundaries as a founderNavigating success, failure, and non-linear growth pathsRedefining success beyond external validationKey FrameworksBoundary SettingTrusting IntuitionNon-Linear SuccessAction PointsPractice saying no to opportunities that aren’t alignedExplore tools like human design to better understand decision-makingPrioritize self-care and resilience as part of long-term successTimestamps / Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Panel and Founders' Backgrounds02:23 The Role of Intuition in Career Transitions10:56 Defining Success: A Personal Journey16:21 Navigating Boundaries in a Masculine Environment20:06 The Birth of Lavender & Truffles23:40 Key Lessons from the Founders' Journeys29:26 Exploring Human Design and Personal Boundaries35:40 The Emotional Journey of Founders39:50 Navigating the Ups and Downs of Entrepreneurship43:09 Advice for the Next Generation of Founders50:40 Redefining Success and FailureGuestsMeredith Markworth-Pollack ⁠@palmacolectiva⁠ | ⁠palmacolectiva.com⁠Alicia Liu @lavenderandtruffles | lavenderandtruffles.comErika Paulson https://www.linkedin.com/in/erika-paulson-18784434aHost InfoTrinity Rose — Brand, Marketing and Business StrategistWebsite: illumeconsultingstudio.comInstagram: @illumeconsultingstudioProduced ByThe Alchemy of SuccessProduced by Trinity RoseExecutive Produced by Alicia LuiResources MentionedHuman DesignBoundary Boss by Terri ColeAstrology and inner alchemy practicesSponsored ByLavender & TrufflesPremium plant-based ice creamhttps://lavenderandtruffles.com
