Join Me To Build Your Best Fall – https://buildyourbestfall.com/ Two women came to me in the same week. One had just made a partner. The other finally launched the business she’d been afraid to start for years. Their lives couldn’t have looked more different, but they were circling the same question: Who am I becoming while I’m building all of this?If you’re in a hard season and building something, this episode gives you a different way to see it. Finding your calling was never only about the work. The work has been building you all along. And the woman you’re becoming is the most valuable thing you’ll ever build.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why your work acts like a mirror, surfacing the fear, perfectionism, and people-pleasing you thought you'd handled years agoHow building confidence happens underneath the visible skill, one hard conversation at a timeWhy the right questions move you faster than more information ever will (and why you can't see your own story clearly alone)The cast iron skillet principle: how the hot, hard seasons are the ones God uses for His deepest work in youThe one question to pray into next: "Who does my work need me to become?"Why what you're building needs a stronger woman to run it more than it needs a better planAlli's current favorite supplement for falling asleep faster and waking up with less morning fogTimestamps:3:02 – The work you're building is building you4:20 – Your work is a mirror (and what it reveals is a gift)5:22 – Entrepreneurship as a personal development plan in disguise5:45 – What you're really building underneath: courage6:25 – Why better questions beat more information8:30 – The cast iron skillet: how you get seasoned9:08 – The growth that never lands on a scoreboard10:22 – The question to pray into: who does my work need me to become next?11:14 – Why your work needs a stronger woman, not a better plan12:15 – What "work that matters" actually means14:53 – Catalyst Mastermind: building alongside other womenLinks to great things we discussed: Standing StrongGlycine Oura ringCatalyst MastermindFunction Health - Use code AWORTHINGTON10 for a discount on comprehensive lab testingWise Woman Method on SubstackTake the Secret Superpower QuizJoin the Uplift CommunityFollow Alli on InstagramDon’t forget to watch Alli Worthington on YouTube!
