THE CITY THAT BUILT ME (and almost broke me)

This week, Ayla takes you behind the scenes of a full-circle, pinch-me weekend in Vancouver — the city that built her… and almost broke her. She’s opening up about what it felt like to return five years later — not as the overworked corporate girl grinding 12-hour days and juggling five side hustles — but as a 7-figure CEO, mentor, and leader, hosting a VIP weekend with her private client and her dream team (who just happen to be women she once worked with in corporate). This episode is real, emotional, and deeply reflective — a reminder of what can happen when you don’t give up on your dreams. Ayla shares the behind-the-scenes lessons, the full-circle moments, and the gratitude that hit her hardest during this trip — and how it reminded her that everything you pour in always comes back. If you’ve ever felt like success is taking too long, like the hustle is never-ending, or like you’re meant for something bigger but can’t quite see it yet — this one will hit home. 💡 In this episode, Ayla shares: The emotional story of returning to Vancouver — the city that built (and nearly broke) her What it was like to meet her private client + team for a 2-day VIP experience How corporate burnout shaped her resilience and leadership today The three biggest lessons she learned from this full-circle moment Why gratitude is the gateway to your next level And a powerful message for anyone building their dream right now 🖤 Connect with Ayla: Follow Ayla on Instagram → @aylasorochuk Learn how to work with Ayla → DM “ NEXT LEVEL ” to learn about her current mastermind + mentorship opportunities 🎧 Listen Now if You’re Ready To: Reconnect with your why Feel re-inspired by your own journey See your struggles as part of your success And believe again in what’s possible when you don’t give up
