Vanessa Ortali discovered this truth the hard way after subscribing to hustle culture left her exhausted, depressed, and paradoxically, struggling to make money.
Her breakthrough came when she embraced authenticity and realized she could achieve remarkable success while maintaining joy, balance, and her feminine energy.
Vanessa's entrepreneurial journey began unexpectedly when she created the Toronto Ladies Community to fulfill her own desire for female friendships.
What started as casual wine nights quickly blossomed into networking events with hundreds of attendees, teaching her valuable lessons about organic growth and community building. This experience, coupled with her background in corporate training, led her to identify a crucial gap: entrepreneurs needed support integrating practical business strategy with mindset work.
Today, as an award-winning speaker and coach, Vanessa works with entrepreneurs—particularly high-achieving women and mothers—who find themselves at a crossroads.
Whether they're struggling to launch or have built successful businesses but feel burned out, her approach helps them create sustainable success aligned with their authentic selves. She shares powerful insights about navigating significant setbacks (including a $60,000 loss with an app developer), leveraging AI technology to increase efficiency, and maintaining optimism despite challenges.
For entrepreneurs feeling overwhelmed by wearing "too many hats," Vanessa offers liberating advice: tune into your unique gifts rather than trying to be everything to everyone. "So many people think industries are saturated," she notes, "but you're always going to do it uniquely because YOU are unique and what you have to say matters."
Ready to ditch the exhaustion and find success with alignment? Listen now to discover how embracing your authentic self might be the business strategy you've been missing.
