Trailblazing Through Challenges

Her advice? Start by listing what you’d add or remove from your life to make it better, then align your business to support those priorities. Selina’s journey reminds us that it’s not just about building a business but building a life we love.

The Power of Pricing with Confidence
Pricing is a challenge many entrepreneurs face, and Selina provides invaluable insights. She stresses the importance of aligning pricing with your worth and calling in clients who truly resonate with your values. “Borrow the belief until it becomes your own,” she says, encouraging entrepreneurs to push past their initial discomfort and step into their full value.

Jen also reflects on her own evolution with pricing, sharing how she’s grown from undervaluing her services to confidently charging her worth, a shift inspired by working with Selina.

Community as Currency
At the heart of Selina’s philosophy is the belief that connection is currency. Her dedication to creating safe, empowering spaces for women entrepreneurs is evident in everything she does, from her Trailblazer Live events to her mentorship programs.

“When someone walks into my community, I want them to feel seen, heard, and witnessed,” Selina shares. This commitment to authenticity and integrity has cultivated a loyal, supportive community that uplifts and inspires everyone involved.

Events That Transform
Events hold a special place in both Selina and Jen’s hearts. They discuss how thoughtfully curated experiences can accelerate trust, connection, and impact far beyond what’s possible online. Selina’s Trailblazer Live event is a testament to this, blending strategic insights with heartfelt connection to create an unforgettable experience for attendees.
