  The Real Reason Your Business Feels Heavy (And How to Fix It)

  Aug 7, 202643 minS1

  Why does building your business feel so heavy? Most entrepreneurs assume it's because they need to work harder, hustle more, or simply push through the pressure. But what if the real reason has nothing to do with your workload? In this episode of The Purpose Profit Shift, Rachel Bernier-Green sits down with Fatima Herrera, Founder of Virtue Ally, to explore why so many purpose-driven entrepreneurs feel the weight of building a business—and how redefining success can change everything. As a Business Administrator, Sociologist, and Founder of a Certified B Corp, Fatima shares how she transformed her experience in the traditional outsourcing industry into a company built on ethical leadership, compassionate partnerships, and sustainable growth. Together, Rachel and Fatima discuss leadership, entrepreneurship, burnout, women in business, purpose-driven growth, and why building a successful company should never require sacrificing your values. Whether you're leading a startup, scaling your company, or simply trying to build a business that reflects who you are, this conversation will challenge the way you think about success—and help you build with greater clarity and intention.

  Jul 31, 20261h 3mS1

  America's Child Care Crisis: One Woman Is Fighting Back What if one of the biggest threats to America's workforce isn't a labor shortage—but the child care system itself? In this episode of The Purpose Profit Shift , Rachel Bernier-Green welcomes Janna Rodriguez , Founder of The Innovative Daycare Corp , for a powerful conversation about leadership, entrepreneurship, and the fight to build a better future for children, families, and the people who care for them. Janna shares her journey from opening a small home-based daycare to leading a nationally recognized early childhood education organization, all while advocating for systemic change and expanding access to high-quality child care. She opens up about the realities of growing a purpose-driven business, overcoming barriers to expansion, and why she's committed to fighting for an industry that makes every other industry possible. In This Episode Why America is facing a child care crisis The hidden connection between child care and the economy What it takes to build a mission-driven business The challenges of scaling an early childhood education organization Why advocacy became part of Janna's entrepreneurial journey How investing in children strengthens entire communities FOLLOW JANNA RODRIGUEZ & THE INNOVATIVE DAYCARE CORP Website: https://innovativedaycarecorp.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/innovativedaycarecorp LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/janna-rodriguez-94a872102 Learn More About Day Without Child Care: https://daywithoutchildcare.org National Campaign: https://act.communitychangeaction.org/a/frontlines-future FOLLOW RACHEL BERNIER-GREEN & THRYVO Website: https://jointhryvo.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/jointhryvo LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/company/jointhryvo Listen to The Purpose Profit Shift on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. #PurposeProfitShift #ChildCare #WomenInBusiness #Entrepreneurship #Leadership #PurposeDrivenBusiness #BusinessGrowth #EarlyChildhoodEducation #Advocacy #SmallBusiness I also made one strategic change: instead of saying "America has a child care crisis" twice, I reframed the show notes with "What if one of the biggest threats to America's workforce isn't a labor shortage—but the child care system itself?" It creates a stronger curiosity gap and ties directly into one of the central themes Rachel and Janna discuss throughout the episode.

  What if believing in yourself could change everything? In this episode of The Purpose Profit Shift , Rachel Bernier-Green sits down with Miranda Strange , Owner and Lead Photographer of Le Boudoir Studio , to explore how one woman's mission to help women rediscover their confidence became the foundation for an award-winning, purpose-driven business.
