I'll never forget the first time I heard Jamie Milam's story. It gave me chills and ignited a spark of admiration within me. Her journey of resilience, from the throes of teenage pregnancy, addiction, homelessness, and domestic abuse to the heights of entrepreneurial success, is nothing short of awe-inspiring.

Jamie joins us today, opening up about her life's most testing chapters, laying bare the despair, the struggle, and ultimately, the triumph. She shares her process of harnessing self-awareness that was instrumental in helping her navigate through life's choppy waters to reach the shores of peace and success. The conversation is punctuated with deep insights into how she rebuilt her life, how she embraced her trauma, and the role of self-awareness and communication in personal growth.

Her strategies for creating a fulfilling life are not just theoretical but born out of real-life experiences. They are practical and tangible, grounded in the needs and emotions of the individual. We explore these strategies, focusing on setting boundaries, understanding our worth, and acknowledging our emotions - all powerful tools in shaping a fulfilling and balanced life. Jamie's story is a testament to human resilience and the extraordinary potential of self-awareness. It's not just a story of survival, but a tale of a woman who, despite all odds, continues to thrive.

About Jamie: 

On her own at the age of 15 and overcoming drug addiction when she learned she'd become a mother at 19, Jamie lived a self-reliant life, filled with pressure to build a better life for her

and her son. Her figure-it-out mentality helped her rebuild her life from a single Rubbermaid tote and went on to build 3 businesses that she runs today.

She learned that strategic systems were instrumental in her financial success but it was learning to practice deep self-awareness that allowed her to genuinely break free from pressure and value herself so deeply so she could navigate challenges with feelings of peace and align her strategies with her true self. Now she utilizes this powerful tool in all areas of her life and is on a mission to help others do the same.

"Your vision is truly what fuels your passion and your ambition. It's what keeps you going when things are getting tough, when it becomes a rallying point for your team that you can align everybody around in this shared purpose."- Kallai Plummer

Ever wonder why some businesses float while others sink? Why do some leaders inspire while others merely manage? 

It all comes down to two powerful declarations: vision and mission statements. 

As budding women CEOs, these statements will be your compass, guiding your business towards a future you aspire to create and laying out your ultimate purpose and reason for existence. They’re not just fancy words on a page, they’re the heart and soul of your company. A clear vision and mission not only lend credibility to your enterprise but also foster a cohesive company culture. 

But, that's not all! Your business's persona, i.e., your brand, is equally vital. It's not just about creating a logo or choosing a color scheme. A truly resonant brand radiates your core values, speaks directly to your target audience, and showcases your unique offerings. 

Want to make sure your brand stands out in the crowd? Listen on! 

In this episode of That Big CEO Energy, you’ll learn:

• Practical steps and valuable tips to help you craft these essential statements and build a robust brand. 
• The exact steps to creating a vision & mission statement.
• Why having a clear vision and mission statement are the keys to your business success.

Take control of your destiny and create a lasting impact! Craft your powerful vision and mission statement today. Dream big, be bold, and embrace your authentic purpose. Let your vision be the North Star that guides you through challenges and propels you towards ultimate success.

Have you thought about starting your own business, but feel you lack that charismatic extroverted voice? You my friend still have an opportunity to be your own boss and run a successful business!

Enter the OBM opportunity. OBM stands for Online Business Manager and it’s the perfect fit for women who prefer to work behind the scenes while executing as an integrator (the person who gets stuff done). On today’s show, I have the privilege of interviewing Ashley Connell, Founder of the Prowess Project, certifying OBMs to provide business consultants and coaches the support they need online so they can scale. 

We explore how this role can be the perfect fit for that introverted entrepreneur who wants to focus on what they do best while leaving the big picture stuff to the natural visionary (typically coaches and consultants.)  We will hear from Ashley how many women have found success as online business managers and discuss the benefits and challenges of this innovative approach to business management. 

Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your business to the next level, this podcast will give you a fresh perspective on the potential of the online business manager opportunity.

In today’s episode, we are talking to the incredible Alina Scarcella, about how she was able to successfully pivot her business in order to better align with her ideal life.

Alina was an overbooked online service provider, helping her clients with everything from admin to SEO to social media. She was constantly overwhelmed with all of the work she was doing for clients that she didn’t have time to even think about working on her own business.

After pivoting and niche-ing down, Alina is now serving her clients as an online business strategist and digital marketing expert.

It can be terrifying to make such a huge change, but as Alina learned, creating more structure in your business provides you with more freedom in your life.

We are talking about:
How to know when it’s time to make a change
Why you need to pivot
Mindset blocks
Communicating the change to current clients
Dealing with the potential of losing clients
Benefits of pivoting
