What it's really like building a business in your 20's with Maya Vertigans

Описание: What does success look like when you’re “ahead” of your peers — but still questioning yourself?
Is it possible to build real leadership, self-trust, and impact when you’re younger than everyone in the room?
This episode is for women who look capable on the outside, but quietly wonder if they’re doing it “right.”

Many women are busy, capable, and outwardly successful — yet still second-guess their decisions, their pace, or whether they truly belong where they are. This episode explores that tension through a powerful, grounded conversation about age, identity, leadership, and growth.

The She Is Courageous Podcast is for women who are building meaningful work and want to lead with courage, clarity, and self-trust — without burning out, shrinking themselves, or chasing someone else’s version of success. We talk mindset, leadership, and growth in a way that’s honest, practical, and deeply human.

In this episode:
Shelley sits down with Maya Vertigans, 26-year-old founder of award-winning, eco-conscious agency Planner B VA Services, to unpack what it really takes to build a values-led business early in life — and the mindset challenges that come with it.

This conversation matters because so many women are stuck in a familiar pattern:
doing well, working hard, and still questioning themselves — whether because of age, experience, or expectations.

You’ll hear honest reflections on:
• Navigating leadership in your twenties when everyone around you is on a different path
• Building self-trust without a corporate background or traditional “credibility”
• Handling subtle ageism and being underestimated in business spaces
• Separating identity from achievement when your work becomes “who you are”
• Growing a team and business responsibly without losing yourself
• Creating space for growth before you feel fully ready

If you’ve ever searched for:
• “Why I feel capable but still doubt myself”
• “Leadership when you don’t fit the mould”
• “Mindset shifts for women building businesses”
• “How to trust yourself as a leader”
…this episode will resonate.

Take a moment to listen, reflect, and notice what this conversation brings up for you.
If it helps, share it with a woman who’s quietly carrying more responsibility than she lets on.
