When Your Business Outgrows Your Inner Circle with Matthew Riven

A podcast with She Is a Leader and Yvonne Heimann

This second conversation with Yvonne dives into a reality most entrepreneurs and leaders don’t talk about: what happens to your relationships—personal and professional—when you start to grow faster than the people around you. We unpacked the messy, honest, and often uncomfortable parts of leveling up: losing friends who don’t understand your direction, navigating family dynamics that resist change, and trying to lead a team that may not be ready for the standards you’re stepping into.

As we talked, I shared how growth requires a shift in identity long before it shows up in your business results. We explored the emotional cost of stepping into bigger leadership, the friction that emerges when your values evolve, and the inner work required to stay steady when others feel threatened or left behind. We also looked at how your nervous system plays a role in leading through change, and why clarity and calm presence become essential tools as your business scales.

If you're in a season of change—or about to step into one—this episode offers grounded stories, practical tools, and a clear roadmap for staying aligned with your values while leading meaningful transformation in your business and your life.
