Inner Circle Member Spotlight: Interview with Ash Battye from Emerald HQ

Описание: Some days business feels really good… and other days it feels like you’re carrying your whole world on your shoulders. Client work, kids, school notes, invoices, laundry piles, and somewhere in there you’re meant to be “the CEO” too.

You might be thinking about hiring or bringing in more support, but the idea of managing people, setting expectations, and “being a leader” can feel pretty heavy. If that’s where you’re at, this conversation with Ash will help you feel seen and a little more supported in what you’re carrying. 🌱

In this episode, host Adrienne Donnelly chats with Ash Battye, founder of Emerald HQ and co-founder of Secret Women’s Collab. Ash shares how she went from resume writer to VA to the go-to hiring and culture partner for small business owners who want values-led support, not corporate HR. Together, they talk honestly about juggling business, kids, and a shift-working husband, what it really takes to lead people well, and how to build a business that fits your actual life.

You’ll hear about:
🌱 How Ash grew from resume writer and VA into running Emerald HQ
🌱 What juggling business, young kids, and a shift-working partner really looks like
🌱 Simple leadership shifts to stop doing everything yourself
🌱 Early signs you’re heading towards burnout and how to reset gently
🌱 Finding community that fits your season, not your “shoulds”

If you’ve been thinking, “Something has to change, but I’m not sure where to start,” this episode is your reminder that you don’t have to fix everything at once. You’re allowed to take small, steady steps, ask for help, and set your business up in a way that works for you and your family right now. Your version of success gets to be flexible, human, and completely your own.
