Woman of Influence

In this episode, I’m sharing why the most overlooked leadership skill for high-level women right now isn’t discipline, hustle, or having the perfect plan—it’s the ability to pause without spiraling. I talk about why January creates so much nervous system dysregulation, how comparison turns us into “gap thinkers,” and why most women aren’t behind at all—they’re just measuring their lives with the wrong ruler. This conversation is a reminder that clarity doesn’t come from pushing harder, but from creating space to actually hear yourself again.

I also open up about how pausing has transformed the way I steward my business, my voice, and my identity—especially after a profound personal experience that reshaped how I understand safety, leadership, and provision. I talk about why learning to hold the process matters more than chasing the outcome, why trying to be everything to everyone creates exhaustion, and how true influence comes from honoring your specific lane and genius. This episode is an invitation to slow down, release control, and trust that what you’re preparing for in the pause is what allows the harvest to come.

“  I just want you to hear me clearly with this. You do not need to sprint into the new year. You do not need to prove January. You do not need to panic plan. You do not need to aggressively map out your entire year in a week like your life depends on it. You don't have to have the perfect setup or the perfect studio, or the perfect launch or whatever thing that you're making up and telling yourself that you need in order to make something great because most women  don't enter the new year with a strategy problem. Most women enter the new year with nervous system dysregulation.” - Julie Solomon 

“ It's not to say that goals are bad. It's not to say that measuring how far we've come to where we wanna be is bad. It's just that a lot of women are measuring their lives with a ruler that was never meant to measure their actual progress, their actual success. And that's the thing most women are not behind. They're just measuring with the wrong ruler, and you cannot build a powerful year from some distorted measuring stick.”  - Julie Solomon

In this solo episode, I explore why feeling unsettled, impatient, or slightly off isn’t a sign that something is wrong—but a signal that you’re expanding into a new level of leadership. I unpack how safety, not speed, creates clarity, and why so many high-achieving women misinterpret nervous system discomfort as failure. This conversation reframes uncertainty as part of the embodiment process required for your next level of visibility, authority, and impact.

I also share how slowing down, regulating your energy, and fully embodying your message allows you to hold more—more clients, more revenue, and more responsibility—without burnout. This episode is an invitation to stop forcing clarity and instead become the woman who can sustain what she’s asking for.

“ Most women are not confused, especially when they come into my world. Even if they think they are, they are not confused. But man, are they uncomfortable. And we have been taught to fix that discomfort instead of listening to it and letting it be a teacher that actually guides us to the best decisions that we can make next.” - Julie Solomon 

“ I'm not here to help you post and be seen. Anyone can do that. I'm here to help you post to be remembered and paid by the right people. I want you to have buyers, not followers. Because you cannot execute conversion first content from a rushed, reactive, cluttered, nervous system. It just doesn't happen. Conversion requires precision, intention, pausing, leadership. Yes, we do build content that collapses the buying gap. We need that too. But first we have to build the woman who can hold it.”  - Julie Solomon

In this week's episode, I sit down with my husband, Johnathon Schaech, for a candid look into marriage, money, identity, and creative purpose. Together, we unpack what our financial fights have really been about, how fear shows up for each of us, and why trust — not control — has become the foundation of our partnership.

John shares openly about the evolution of his career, the impact sobriety has had on his life and work, and how our move to Nashville restored a sense of peace he didn’t even realize he was missing. We talk honestly about what it looks like to support each other’s dreams without competition, how we navigated my many business reinventions, and why letting go — of perfectionism, chaos, and old stories — has expanded everything from our marriage to our creative expression.

This conversation is especially for the women whose partners may not yet fully understand their entrepreneurial dreams. We reflect on the values that have carried us through 13 years of growth — faith, honesty, sovereignty, and mutual respect — and what it means to choose each other again and again.

“I'm not going in there talking about my husband this and my husband that because we've already done so much of that work in our marriage. It's like I get this space to actually work on myself. And I think that that's a huge thing. And that I'm grateful for in our marriage.” - Julie Solomon 

“ When we got married that day on the beach, it wasn't glamor. It was just real. And I tried to live up to those values with you and God and everything I've learned over the course of these years made that commitment to you. And you have been loving, caring, forgiving, and I couldn't imagine doing anything less. I couldn't imagine being less for you.” - John Schaech

In this solo episode, I’m welcoming in 2026 with what feels like a deep exhale and a powerful reframe: this is the year of harvest. After years of shedding, refining, and staying faithful through seasons that didn’t always make sense, I share why I believe this is the moment where the fruit of that work finally becomes visible. We talk about what harvest really means in leadership and business—not hustling harder, but refining, simplifying, and allowing what’s already working to mature.

I explore why misalignment often shows up right before expansion, how guilt can surface when you want to change what you once prayed for, and why less doesn’t mean failure—it often means precision. I also walk you through the different ways you can work with me in 2026, from The Growth Collective to the Brand Accelerator, Revenue Accelerator, and my in-person UNSCRIPTED retreat. This episode is an invitation to stop forcing, trust your evolution, and step into the season where your business finally matches the woman you’ve become.

“  Truly one of the most beautiful parts of growth as a woman and as a leader is when you finally honor yourself and your evolution, and you give yourself the permission to realign your business with not who you were. But who you are today, and most importantly, where you are going.” - Julie Solomon 

“ If you're feeling that itchiness just use this as a reminder to not gaslight yourself. Because sometimes that discomfort, sometimes that itchiness is just that growth edge. It's just you getting ready to leave this level of the base camp to a sin to another one, and most often something just isn't vibing with where you are anymore or with who you are anymore. And that's okay. That's not a crisis. That is literally the harvest about to take shape.” - Julie Solomon

In this special flip series episode, I sit down with my dear friend Lindsey Schwartz for an honest, expansive conversation about leadership, identity, and what it really takes to build meaningful success without abandoning yourself along the way. We talk about how seasons of growth often require shedding old expectations, redefining ambition, and trusting the inner knowing that calls you toward more alignment—not more pressure.

Lindsey shares her journey of evolving as a leader, embracing uncertainty, and choosing purpose over perfection. Together, we explore boundaries, self-trust, and why slowing down, listening deeply, and honoring your values can actually create more impact, not less.

This episode is for the woman who feels herself changing, who’s ready to lead with clarity and conviction, and who wants her life and business to reflect who she truly is becoming.
