Leading with Intuition, Integrity, and Impact

In this powherfull episode of Startup Stories, Jensen Savage clearly articulates what it means to "follow your soul." She thought she wanted to grow up to be a corporate lawyer, and while she was pursuing that, she was also working in social media and marketing. Life delivered her a "reverse engineered" example of what the results of her vision could be and she decided NAH that's not for me!! The outfall was years of recalibrating and creating a new vision, one that filled her sense of purpose and accomplishment.

Jensen leaned into curiosity and intuition—and found herself on the path to entrepreneurship.

Founding Savage Growth Partners became more than just starting an agency—it became a mission. Her firm helps service-based businesses grow with clarity, intention, and holistic strategy, blending marketing, operations, sales, and finance to build sustainable and sellable companies.

Throughout this conversation, Jensen opens up about the values that guide her—integrity, service, and deep alignment with her purpose. She reminds us that success isn’t just about numbers; it’s about fulfillment, growth, and building something that reflects who you truly are.

If you’ve ever felt the tension between what looks good on paper and what feels right in your spirit, this episode is your permission slip. Jensen’s story is a beautiful example of what happens when women trust their gut, honour their values, and lead with both wisdom and heart (AND WITH SYSTEMS!!! Ladies get the systems in place!).

🎧 Tune in and be inspired to follow your own inner knowing—because that’s where true growth begins.

This woman is living in the reality she desired. Her entrepreneurial journey started AFTER she quit her job. With savings in the bank Jennifer gave herself freedom to get to know herself through creative pursuits. One thing really did lead to another BUT Jennifer was actively directing her choices, her actions and making her own opportunities. Self advocating, after years in corporate safely and complacently NOT doing that or being that version of herself. (Ahem - anything is possible if you decide and take action!)

Jennifer has that "it" factor - confidence, visionary mindset, creative strategy. Her company, Shoott, took five years to hit profitability, now grossing $10M annually serving in 60 cities with 750+ photographers (at 7 years and counting). Shoott is a photography booking platform connecting clients with vetted photographers for affordable and exceptional shoots.

I love this so much - she scaled, sustainably and structured. This is tangible business building, CEO Mindset level. And she keeps bringing more of herself into the business - heart, sustainable hustle, excellent team members and a whole lot of wisdom. From creative pivots to scaling with integrity, this convo is packed with golden nuggets for anyone navigating entrepreneurship—especially women carving their own path.

✨ We dive into:

The business model behind Shoot and how it actually* works

* What it really takes to go from corporate to creative (hello reinvention!)

* Lessons in hiring, team-building, and leading with self-awareness

From Corporate Climb to Personal Power with Sasha Elezovski

In this soul-stirring and truth-telling episode, Sasha joins me to share her beautifully messy and powerful journey from corporate powerhouse to purpose-driven entrepreneur. After navigating a tough divorce and awakening to a deeper sense of self, Sasha made the bold leap to entrepreneurship—not just to pay the bills, but to prove (ahem) a certain someone very, very wrong. 😏 (herself mostly - no drama here loves!!).

She doesn't hold back as we talk about the unspoken challenges women face in corporate—negotiating salaries, setting boundaries without guilt, and trying way too hard to be seen as “enough” all while managing a home life and parenthood too!! If you’ve ever felt like you're climbing a ladder that’s leaning on the wrong wall, this convo will meet you right where you are.

We also dive into Sasha’s vision for helping other women glow up in corporate life without burning out. From her upcoming newsletter, “The Corporate Glow Up,” to a possible “Lean In” style circle of real-talk and real support, Sasha’s here for the woman who wants both the corner office and her peace.

Oh, and we couldn’t skip the juggling act—Sasha gets candid about balancing motherhood, business, and boundaries (hint: burnout is not a badge of honour).

This one’s for every woman who's ever whispered to herself, “There’s got to be more than this.” There is. And we’re talking about it.
