ABOUT THIS EPISODE
On the Yes Women’s Network Podcast, host Michele Morley interviews Liz Hartke of Luminary Leadership Company, nearly 15 years in business, about evolving from marketing to scaling entrepreneurs through leadership and values-aligned growth. Hartge explains burnout often comes from working outside one’s “zone of genius,” and describes using an online leadership style assessment to identify gifts, energy drains, and roadblocks for clients and teams worldwide. She shares a shift in prioritizing proximity and availability for her five children by elevating her team, systemizing operations, choosing family-honoring clients, and batching commitments, integrating kids into work and homeschooling. Hartge challenges one-size-fits-all success, emphasizes intuition, and outlines frameworks including the Clarity Matrix, focusing on “easy/heavy” versus “hard/light,” and choosing a trajectory over rigid goals. She describes daily intentional time with God, mindset discipline, offers a Clarity Playbook via Instagram DM, and previews her upcoming book and podcast, Your Big Next.
