This episode is about shifting your mindset — and while the lesson applies to everyone, in business it shows up most clearly in the difference between an employee mindset and a CEO mindset.

I’m joined by Zhanna Blazej, a strategist and CEO who has built her career helping entrepreneurs create sustainable businesses rooted in strategy, clarity, and boundaries. For Zhanna, motherhood was the catalyst that forced her to evolve — her son’s existence required her to stop running her business on poor boundaries and start making decisions that were truly worth her time.

Together, we unpack what it means to separate who you are from what your business produces, why emotions often keep people stuck, and how the CEO mindset allows you to lead with intention instead of burnout.
