You don’t build a thriving business alone—you build it with people.

In this episode, I sit down with Stephanie Ross—author of Seasons of a Soul-preneur and founder of the Small Business Sister Circle™—to talk about what it really takes to build a strong community around your business and why it’s the foundation for long-term success.

Stephanie is a new mom, a seasoned entrepreneur, and someone who knows firsthand the highs and lows of navigating different seasons in life and business. From the early days of figuring it out solo to leading a vibrant network of women solopreneurs, her story is packed with lessons on resilience, connection, and staying aligned with your purpose.

We cover:

- Why community is the most underrated growth strategy in business

- How to build genuine relationships that turn into collaborations, referrals, and long-term clients

- The mindset shifts that help solopreneurs thrive instead of burn out

- Balancing motherhood, entrepreneurship, and personal growth

- How to stay connected during the hard seasons when you feel like pulling back

- Why investing in your network is one of the smartest business moves you can make

Whether you’re just starting out or scaling to your next level, this conversation will give you practical tools and a fresh perspective on what it means to truly be supported in business.
