I didn’t come from stability, support, or a safety net, and that truth shaped everything about the founder I became. In this episode, I reflect on my journey from a scrappy kid who grew up in poverty and foster care, to a woman about to pitch a billion dollar business. As I revisit my past while refining this high-stakes investor pitch, I share how resilience, uncertainty, and vision became my greatest assets.

In this conversation, I get honest about legacy, identity, and rewriting generational stories through entrepreneurship. If you’ve ever questioned whether your background disqualifies you, I hope this episode will remind you it’s actually preparing you. Share this with a business bestie, leave a review, and connect with me on Instagram @Kimberley.Hiebert, because I’d love to hear what part of your story you’re owning next.

In this episode of Found-Her, I sit down with Jillian Murphy for a real conversation about what it actually takes to scale your life and business.

Jillian is a highly sought-after business and sales mentor with over 20 years of experience in the industry. She’s grown her own business from zero to six figures in one year, hit a six-figure month within 18 months, and did it all without ads, fancy systems, or even a website. She’s truly mastered the art of communication and sales, and if you’re someone who’s still learning how to market yourself, this is a conversation you’ll want to take notes on.

If this resonated, share it with a founder who’s also in their building phase, leave a review, and subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next.

Welcome back to Found-Her! Today, I walk through how hiring a part-time personal assistant gave me space to think again and ultimately supported my business in ways I couldn’t see at the time. I was at a point where I felt completely depleted and I knew I needed help, but I was unable to see where to hire next. What started as personal support slowly evolved into something much bigger and, as the company grew, so did my capacity to care for myself and lead well.

If you’re burnt out but also feeling hesitation to take on help, I hope this episode can offer you a fresh perspective on what assistance in your business can look like. Don’t forget to support the show by leaving a like and review on this episode. I’ll see you next time!

How much is enough? While working through the financial realities of growing a legacy business, I realized I wasn’t actually searching for a magical number. Today on Found-Her, I talk through what surfaced when this clicked for me: that this whole time, my child self has been quietly running the show by striving for safety in all the wrong ways.

If you’re a woman who’s always trying to hold it together, I want you to know that you don’t have to be so guarded, because you are inherently worthy and enough as you are. This is such a universal topic and I’d love to hear your take. Share this episode with a friend and reach out to me on Instagram @kimberley.hiebert with your thoughts.

In this episode of Found-Her, I’m joined by the incredible Carly Ottaway: author of Coming Home, creator of The Mirror Effect, and founder of the award-winning agency Web of Words. We talk about writing her debut book in the middle of losing her home in a fire, leading a six-figure business through the pandemic, and raising two young kids, all while doing the deep inner work that so many founders avoid.

We also unpack The Mirror Effect and how our businesses, teams, and relationships reflect the truth of how we’re showing up. If you’re waiting for the perfect moment to create your dreams and tell your story, this is your reminder: it doesn’t exist. Start now.

Today, we’re getting honest about asking for what you want, taking up space before you feel ready, and why “waiting” is often the thing holding you back the most. I’m fresh off of the High Vibe Women networking event and have so many insights to share after spending a few days with women who are building big lives and bold businesses.

I talk about my reaction to watching one woman take action while everyone else waited, and how clearly it reflected the ways we delay, hesitate, and wait for permission in our own founder journeys. I also unpack why becoming an “ask-hole” is essential and what it looks like to take full ownership of your vision. If this resonates, leave a review, subscribe, and share it with the founder who needs the reminder that she doesn’t need permission to move.

In this episode of Found-Her, I’m joined by Christy Amason, women’s wellness expert and founder of Empowerfit. Through her work, Christy brings a deep focus on pelvic health and chronic pain, supporting women in regaining strength and achieving greater control over their wellness.

Christy gets real about the tough lessons that come with going all in on your dreams: how it exposes every flaw in your systems and team, and how lonely entrepreneurship can be as you evolve. Her north star? Building a “free” life with more time, money, and choices for herself and her family. This conversation is for any woman ready to build, grow, and show up for herself.

Welcome back to Found-Her! In this episode, I share the surprising answer I gave on a recent pitch application when asked about the hardest obstacle in my founder journey. Building a legacy business from scratch has pushed me to grow in ways I never expected, and I open up about what it feels like to create something that lives and operates beyond me.

I didn’t expect that the biggest challenge wouldn’t be money, strategy, or skill gaps, but that it would be the people closest to me. Tune in to hear the honest reflections behind that realization and how I’m learning to navigate these moments without letting them dim my vision.
