      <title>97: The Systems Behind the Business You Actually Want to Run</title>
      <description>Frameworks sound boring until you realize you can't run a business without them.

This episode is a real look at how I think. The systems, frameworks, and processes I've built over the years, how I use them in my own business right now, and why I think every entrepreneur needs to take a honest look at where their gaps are.

If you've ever felt like something in your business is off but you can't quite name it, this one is worth your time.

New episodes every Wednesday on YouTube, Fridays on all audio platforms.

      <title>96: 20+ Unscripted Interviews in One Day. Here's What Happened.</title>
      <description>I said yes to something I had never done before. And then I showed up with cameras, plants, gift bags and absolutely no script.

This episode is my full behind-the-scenes breakdown of the Women Rock Wings Sky Queen Luncheon at BWI Airport — what I packed, what went sideways, what I'd do differently and why I'd do every bit of it again.

If you've ever said yes before you felt completely ready, this one is for you.

      <title>95: The Build Continues: What I Learned About Studio Production This Season</title>
      <description>The idea was simple: show up, sit down, hit record. No friction. And honestly? The studio part delivered. The makeup part did not.

In this episode I'm breaking down what I've been using, what I bought and barely touched, what surprised me, and what I'd do differently. If you're thinking about building a content space, even just a corner in a room, this one is for you.

We're in the second half of Season 4 and this is my mid-season update on what it's actually been like to record from my in-home content studio. The goal when I built it was to remove as much friction as possible between me and pressing record. And for the most part it worked except I didn't account for what it takes to do a full face of makeup under studio lights and HD cameras. Started at an hour. I'm down to 40 minutes. The lashes still don't cooperate.

I also walk through the equipment I use every time, the gear I bought thinking I'd use it constantly and barely touch, and a couple of purchases I didn't plan that ended up being the most useful things I own for mobile shoots.

      <title>94: None of This Was on My Bingo Card.</title>
      <description>At the top of 2026 I had a plan. Good Morning Washington was not on it. Twenty-three pink couch interviews at an aviation luncheon were definitely not on it. And yet — here we are.

This is my Q1 hot take: a personal, unscripted reflection on two things that happened this quarter that I didn't plan, what they meant for me, and what it's making me think about as I head into Q2.

No real notes for this one. Just me being real with you about what showing up for unexpected opportunities actually looks like — including bringing Black Girls Fly back to the forefront after pausing it for a while, and what it feels like when God starts moving faster than your plan.

      <title>93: You Don't Have to Be Loud to Be Known</title>
      <description>Performance is not equal to authority — and once I really sat with that difference, it changed how I show up entirely. Especially in the middle of a business transition.

This episode is about a question I hear experienced entrepreneurs asking privately but almost never out loud: how do I move in my authority while I'm still in transition — without performing? Without the trendy content, the constant proving, the algorithm chasing?

I talk through what made me realize I was confusing the two, why I pulled a full government contracting course rather than promote it louder when the market shifted, and the three things that define what authority looks like for me in practice right now.

If you're in a season of transition or repositioning and you're done with showy — this one is for you.

      <title>92: Building After 40 Looks Different. Nobody's Talking About It.</title>
      <description>Building after 40, business evolution, and what it actually looks like when ambition shifts — for entrepreneurs and consultants who don't want to start over, just build differently.


You've already proven yourself. The clients are there. The revenue is holding. And something still feels off.


Not wrong. Not broken. Just not quite fitting the season you're actually in.


In this solo episode, Claudia gets honest about where she is right now — over 14 years into her consultancy, two careers deep, and in a phase of building that doesn't have a clean name yet. It's not a pivot. It's not starting over. It's evolving from experience, and figuring out what meaningful impact looks like when you're done chasing the next credential or title.


This one is for the person who's been building long enough to know what they don't want anymore — and is still working out what they do.

      <title>90: She Left a $370K GovCon Investment Behind and Finally Found Alignment</title>
      <description>GovCon pivot, entrepreneurship transitions, and building a business in alignment with Tasha Jones, government contracting expert, founder of Twenty39, and former intelligence analyst turned executive.

Tasha Jones has spent over two decades inside the government contracting ecosystem, from active duty Navy intelligence analyst to GS-15 at the FBI, to beltway circuit executive, to independent consultant. This episode is the unfiltered version of that journey.

She and Claudia get into what it felt like to watch an 18-month pipeline built on seven teaming agreements and $370,000 of investment simply evaporate. They talk about grief as a real response to business loss, why pivoting always costs more than people admit, and how Tasha finally found alignment, not by staying the course, but by reading the room early enough to build something new.

Tasha is now building a consultant collective model that lets independent experts scale revenue, share infrastructure, and serve both public and private sector clients without losing ownership of their work or their clients.

This conversation is for entrepreneurs who are tired of hearing "you just need to diversify" from people who don't understand what diversification actually costs.

Tasha Jones has spent over two decades inside the government contracting ecosystem, from active duty Navy intelligence analyst to GS-15 at the FBI, to beltway circuit executive, to independent consultant. This episode is the unfiltered version of that journey.

She and Claudia get into what it felt like to watch an 18-month pipeline built on seven teaming agreements and $370,000 of investment simply evaporate. They talk about grief as a real response to business loss, why pivoting always costs more than people admit, and how Tasha finally found alignment, not by staying the course, but by reading the room early enough to build something new.

Tasha is now building a consultant collective model that lets independent experts scale revenue, share infrastructure, and serve both public and private sector clients without losing ownership of their work or their clients.

This conversation is for entrepreneurs who are tired of hearing "you just need to diversify" from people who don't understand what diversification actually costs.

      <title>89: Your Planning System Should Fit Your Season. Mine Didn't. </title>
      <description>When Planning by the Numbers Stops Working (ft. Claudia) S4|E89 Planning system 2026, linear calendar, and why Claudia walked away from years of 12 Week Year planning — because the system stopped fitting the season she's actually in.
This is Part 2 of my planning series for 2026, and this one gets into the why behind the shift.
I'm a type A person. Color coding, metrics, percent complete, team dashboards in Airtable — that was my normal. And it worked, until it started creating stress that had nothing to do with whether things were actually moving. I was watching numbers instead of making progress, and I finally had to admit I had over-engineered my own planning.
So I stopped. Stepped back. And built something different.
In this episode I walk through what that actually looked like: letting go of the 12 Week Year for the first time in nearly a decade, building a linear planning suite in Google Sheets, and what it means to have a system that can see your whole year — capacity, life, business, downtime — in one view.
If you've ever kept a planning system running out of habit instead of because it was working, this episode is for you.

      <title>88: I Quit the 12 Week Year. Here's What I'm Using Instead.</title>
      <description>I've been using the 12 Week Year since about 2016. It worked — until it didn't. This year I needed something less rigid, more fluid, and built for the actual season I'm in: a daughter heading to college, a business in real-time transition, and a desire to plan without feeling like I'm being graded on my own life.

In this solo episode, I'm walking you through exactly what my planning ecosystem looks like right now — the tools, the workflow, the reasoning, and the honest truth 

What's in the stack:
— Linear calendar (all 12 months, one view, built in Sheets)
— Day One as the connective tissue across devices
— Boox Note Air4 C for journaling (and why I moved away from the SuperNote for this use case)
— Pocket recorder for AI-assisted notes, mind maps, and episode ideas
— Airtable brain dump &gt; weekly rack and stack

No guest this week — just me, the road, and what's actually working right now.
 
Mentioned In This Episode:
🛠️  Airtable

🛠️  Day One

🛠️  Supernotes

🛠️  Notion

🛠️  Pocket
🛠️BOOX

🛠️  Google Sheets

      <title>87:  4 Things Destroying Your Business Right Now</title>
      <description>When things start to feel chaotic in your business, it’s easy to assume you need to work harder or move faster. But often, the real issue is broken systems.


In this episode of She Built Success, I walk through four signs your business systems may be breaking down. From lack of team cohesion to scrambling for documents, repeated client questions, and weak follow-up processes, these breakdowns quietly cost time, money, and energy.


Drawing from decades of experience across corporate, government, and small business environments, I explain how these issues show up, why they matter, and what they signal about how your business is being managed.


This episode isn’t about doing more. It’s about recognizing where structure, clarity, and workflow are missing so you can build with longevity instead of constant friction.

      <title>86: What Actually Keeps Me Organized in Business</title>
      <description>If you’ve been feeling disorganized, inconsistent with content, or unsure where your time is going, it might not be a discipline problem. It might be a systems problem.



In this episode of She Built Success, I walk through the three tools that anchor my business operations day to day and how they work together to support consistency without overwhelm. I share how my tech stack has evolved with me, why it doesn’t need to be perfect to be effective, and how simple systems can change how you show up for your business and your team.

This conversation isn’t about tools for tools’ sake. It’s about removing friction, creating visibility, and building workflows that respect your time.

If you’re tired of feeling scattered or managing everything manually, this episode will help you reframe where to start.

      <description>Building a dream comes with a cost most people never talk about. In this episode of She Built Success, Nadine Vatel shares the real story behind building Sensory Sentiments, the fight no one sees, and why peace became her definition of success.



What does it really cost to build the dream you believe in?

In this Season 4 conversation of She Built Success, Claudia sits down with Nadine Vatel, founder of Sensory Sentiments, a luxury spa built from vision, faith, and resilience in Prince George’s County, Maryland.

This episode isn’t about the highlight reel. It’s about what happens when the fight shows up and you decide whether to keep going.

      <title>84: What No One Tells You About Choosing Entrepreneurship</title>
      <description>Entrepreneurship is a choice, not an accident. In this episode of She Built Success, I reflect on why I chose entrepreneurship, how that decision has evolved, and what it means to keep choosing it.

Entrepreneurship didn’t happen to me by accident. It was a decision. And it’s a decision I’ve had to keep making as my business and life evolved.
In this episode of She Built Success, I share why I chose entrepreneurship, how my definition of it has changed over time, and what I’ve learned from building in different seasons. From corporate work to consulting, from solo execution to building a team, this is a reflection on agency, responsibility, and letting the business evolve alongside you.


This conversation isn’t about glamorizing entrepreneurship. It’s about telling the truth about what it requires, how it changes you, and why choosing it looks different at different stages of the build.
If you’re questioning your path, rethinking what success looks like, or realizing that entrepreneurship keeps asking you to choose again, this episode will meet you where you are.

      <description>Building a content studio wasn’t only about aesthetics. It was about consistency, reducing friction and showing up without resistance. In this episode of She Built Success, I share why I built my studio and what changed.


In this solo episode, I talk through the real reasons I built the She Built Success content studio, how mess and setup friction killed momentum, and why having a ready space made it easier to press record and stay consistent.


I share how I designed the studio for flexibility, multiple looks and ease of use, why it doesn’t have to be expensive or perfect, and how consistency comes from removing barriers, not adding pressure.
If you struggle to show up consistently on video or social media, this episode will shift how you think about your setup.

      <title>82: I Didn’t Change the Goal. I Changed the Timeline.</title>
      <description>Timelines in business are not always fixed. In this episode of She Built Success, I talk about fluid timelines, pausing plans, government contracting shifts, and what it looks like to build community instead of forcing offers.


In this solo episode, I share how my timelines for 2025 have changed, why I stepped back from rigid planning, and how learning to ebb and flow has required me to release structure I normally rely on.


I talk about being type A, loving the 12 Week Year, and what it means to operate with loose guardrails instead of hard deadlines. This episode is about flexibility, patience, community-building, and staying present when certainty isn’t available yet.


If you’re struggling with timelines that no longer make sense or feeling uneasy because your plan needs to shift, this conversation will meet you where you are.

      <description>2025 did not go as planned. In this episode of She Built Success, I reflect on business pivots, burnout, government contracting changes and what happens when the strategy you built no longer fits the landscape.

This is a real-time conversation about business uncertainty, alignment, community-building and giving yourself permission to rethink what comes next.


If your year didn’t turn out the way you expected and you’re sitting in the tension of what’s next, this episode will feel familiar.

      <title>78: 3 Signs It’s Time to Pivot in Business</title>
      <description>Knowing when to pivot in business isn’t always about strategy. Sometimes it shows up as burnout, misalignment and tension with work that once felt easy. In this episode of She Built Success, I share the signs I noticed when it became clear it was time to pivot.


This is a real-time conversation about business burnout, alignment, timing and navigating the space between staying and shifting. I talk through the internal signals that showed up for me, why being tired can be data and how acknowledging tension can lead to clarity without rushing the next move.


If you’re questioning your pace, feeling irritated by work that once energized you or sensing that something needs to change but you’re not sure how yet, this episode will resonate.

      <title>77: From Corporate Burnout to Building Gym Hooky</title>
      <description>What does it look like to build success without burning yourself out in the process?

In this episode of She Built Success, Claudia sits down with Ariel Belgrave—founder of Gym Hooky—for a real conversation about career pivots, wellness, and building a business that actually fits your life.

Ariel shares how climbing the corporate ladder led to burnout, why she started Gym Hooky as a side hustle for five years, and how a community built around skipping the gym and working out at home grew alongside her full-time career in HR and tech.

Ariel also shares what’s next—including her upcoming climb of Mount Kilimanjaro—and how fulfillment now drives every decision she makes.

Season 4 is about The Build Continues—and this episode reminds us that how you build matters just as much as what you build.

🎧 Listen in if you’re navigating a pivot, rethinking success, or learning how to build sustainably.

      <description>Before She Built Success, before coaching and even before my first government contract there was Target, internships, Fortune 500 help desks and even a flagship beauty store gig.

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes into the non-government jobs I’ve held and the lessons they left me with. 

From learning how to organize files at my first internship, to working in retail, to stepping into IT with a Fortune 500 company each experience gave me something I still carry into my business today.

- Fervent – Priscilla Shirer
- Discerning the Voice of God – Priscilla Shirer

✅ The difference between notices, executive orders, and rules
✅ Why tracking policies can position your business ahead of opportunities
✅ How to set up a free account and organize documents that matter to your niche

      <title>58: Think GovCon Starts With SAM.gov? Here's a Better Place to Begin</title>
      <description>You’ve heard about SAM.gov, but let’s be honest—it’s not the only way (and definitely not the easiest way) to start in government contracting.



In this episode of She Built Success, you’ll learn smarter, less talked about ways to get your foot in the GovCon door—without feeling overwhelmed or stuck in the search.



If you’re serious about starting, this episode is your roadmap to real options that don’t start with “just get on SAM.”

      <title>50: How to Foster Psychological Safety and Wellness at Work</title>
      <description>Ever felt like you’re walking on eggshells at work? Like speaking up could cost you opportunities—or worse, your job? You’re not alone. In this episode, I sit down with Amanda Muhammad, founder of Mako Mindfulness, to unpack why psychological safety is the game-changer most businesses are missing.
Amanda shares how she went from corporate burnout to leading the charge in mindfulness and stress management. We also talk about why most corporate training doesn’t work (hint: one-size-fits-all isn’t cutting it) and how scenario-based learning can shift the way teams operate. And if you’ve ever needed a little faith to keep pushing forward in business, Amanda’s story about the Prayer of Jabez will hit home.
With only 26% of employees feeling psychologically safe at work, we have to ask—what can we do to change that? Let’s get into it.

Claudia also emphasizes the importance of adaptability and self-compassion through life's ups and downs. She encourages us to develop our prioritization systems tailored to endeavors. Whether balancing family, career, or personal growth, Claudia's insights provide a practical roadmap for achieving success on your own terms.

“If you're interested or thinking about shifting your company's line of business or line of service into government contracting, as an add-on, just have that strategy in place — Know what you're going after.” — Claudia

      <title>She Built Success | Extended Trailer</title>
      <description>Welcome to She Built Success! I'm your host, Claudia, your Bold Moves Bestie through this adventure of embracing our multifaceted selves. 
Do you ever find yourself questioning if there's more to life and business than just grinding through the motions? I know I have. That's why I'm thrilled to invite you on this transformative journey, where we'll explore what it truly means to step boldly into our full potential.
In this trailer episode, I want to introduce you to the essence of She Built Success. It's more than just a podcast—it's a movement. As a CEO, mom, partner, student pilot, and nonprofit founder, I understand the complexities of balancing various roles and aspirations. And guess what? You're not alone.
She Built Success is a platform where we break free from surface-level conversations and dive deep into actionable strategies that lead to tangible results. Together, we'll challenge the status quo and redefine success on our own terms. 
I firmly believe that as women, we are inherently multifaceted. We're not limited to just one role or identity. We have the power to be CEOs, comedians, partners, friends, confidants, and so much more—all at once. So why confine ourselves to a narrow box when we're capable of so much more?
Join me as we embrace our authenticity, celebrate our diversity, and support each other's journeys toward success. Together, let's shatter stereotypes, push boundaries, and pave the way for a brighter, bolder future.
Are you ready to make bold moves? Then let's embark on this empowering journey together. Welcome to She Built Success.

Join me as we embrace our authenticity, celebrate our diversity, and support each other's journeys toward success. Together, let's shatter stereotypes, push boundaries, and pave the way for a brighter, bolder future.
Are you ready to make bold moves? Then let's embark on this empowering journey together. Welcome to She Built Success.
