Today we’re continuing our special series from this past spring, highlighting inspiring women business owners who have persevered through challenging times. As part of this series, created in celebration of my new book, Handbook for the Heartbroken, we’re diving into the resilience, faith, and leadership required to thrive as a woman entrepreneur—especially when faced with life’s inevitable setbacks.
Joining me today is Kelly Roach, a powerhouse entrepreneur who built her company from zero to eight figures with no debt, investors, or outside funding. A former NFL cheerleader and Fortune 500 executive, Kelly has become a global leader in empowering thousands to achieve financial and lifestyle freedom through entrepreneurship.
Kelly is also a philanthropist, best-selling author, and Top 20 podcast host, whose work has been featured in major outlets like ABC, NBC, Fox, and Forbes. In this heartfelt and motivating conversation, Kelly shares:
- How she starts her day with faith, prayer, and intention to set the tone for her success.
- The key principles that have driven her remarkable journey from corporate leader to 8-figure entrepreneur.
- How she navigates challenges like lawsuits, failed launches, and team struggles—and how these experiences deepened her trust in her calling.
- Three ways to stay relevant in today’s very saturated market.
- Why embracing your deeper calling is essential for today’s evolving entrepreneurial landscape.
Whether you’re an experienced business owner or just beginning your journey, this episode will inspire you to lean into your faith, trust your gifts, and show up for yourself and your mission—even in the face of adversity.
