This episode marks a huge milestone—the official rebrand of this show from The Influencer Podcast to Woman of Influence. After seven and a half years, thousands of conversations, and an evolution in both my work and myself, I knew it was time to let go of a title that no longer aligned and step fully into the next chapter. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of this decision, the identity shifts that brought me here, and why true influence isn’t about followers or performance—it’s about legacy, leadership, and faith. I also walk you through my Identity Elevation Framework—the three buyer identities (former self, working self, and highest self)—and why aligning your message to your highest self buyer is the key to building a business that feels light, sustainable, and deeply aligned. You’ll hear how I’m raising my own standards, what you can expect from Woman of Influence moving forward (including powerhouse guest conversations), and why this rebrand is so much more than a name change—it’s an invitation for you to rise with me.

You don't just grow, you literally expand.” - Julie Solomon  “   We live in a time where we consume without thinking, where we confuse information with wisdom, where we think that the more we know, the more we care. But influence is not about consuming more. It is about embodying truth and faith because that is what cultivates true influence and impact. Influence without truth is just performance. Influence with faith becomes your legacy.” - Julie Solomon  RESOURCES: 💡Just Launched: The Growth Collective: Monthly Coaching With Me—for just $1 Your content deserves to convert, not just be seen.
