There’s a moment every woman consultant meets on the road to extraordinary success—
not the pretty girlboss version, not the curated highlight.
I’m talking about the moment when life stops tapping politely and starts pushing.
The moment you reach the “light at the end of the tunnel”…
only to discover another tunnel waiting for you.
On a recent episode of The Luxe Leap, certified coach Christine Bolt called this her tornado moment—and sister, if you’ve ever felt knocked sideways by life, business, or both, you already know exactly what she meant.
But here’s the part most women never realize:
That tornado isn’t there to destroy you.
It’s there to strip away the version of you that was too small for the rooms you’re meant to walk into.
Let’s talk about it.
The Tornado Moment: When “Good Enough” Stops Being Good Enough
Christine shared that for years she lived on autopilot—successful on paper, respected in her field, checking the boxes the world told her to check.
Until life spun her out of the Busy Box and into a storm of transition: motherhood, identity shifts, burnout, reinvention.
She had two choices:
cling to the familiar or stand in the center of the tornado and choose herself.
And that visual hit me like a crystal flute clinking at sunset.
Because every woman building an extraordinary consulting brand knows this truth:
You are either dragged by the river of fear… or you build the damn bridge.
Christine chose the bridge.
And that moment—messy, chaotic, unplanned—is what led her to become the woman who now coaches others through reinvention with clarity, dignity, and self-trust.
This is exactly how extraordinary brands are born.
Not from templates.
Not from “hacks.”
Not from mid-tier marketing tactics.
But from the moment you stop letting life happen to you and start architecting your identity with intention.
What This Means for Women Consultants Building Champagne Brands
Here’s the part that applies to you, brilliant woman building a consulting empire:
The tornado moment is not just personal.
It’s strategic.
Your business reaches that moment, too.
Where the brand that got you to six figures can’t carry you into your next Elite Room.
Where the clients you’ve outgrown feel heavier than the clients you’re meant to serve.
Where you know your brilliance is underpriced, under expressed, underseen.
This is the crossroad where you either:
- Stay in survival mode…
Trying to blend in.
Trying not to rock the boat.
Trying to “be grateful” for clients who don’t see your elite value.
or
- Step into intention mode.
Redefine your message.
Raise your positioning.
Speak to the client who already sees you as the obvious choice.
Price with perception.
Build a brand that shatters glass ceilings and builds uncommon wealth.
Christine’s tornado wasn’t about chaos.
It was her invitation to step into the center, breathe, and say:
“I choose me. Now let’s build from here.”
And that’s the exact moment your Champagne Clients finally recognize you.
Extraordinary Brands Are Built in the Eye of the Storm
Here’s the secret no one tells high-achieving women:
Your power isn’t found in the calm.
Your brilliance emerges in the storm.
When you dare to ask:
“What do I actually want? Who do I want to become? And what brand reflects that woman?”
That’s when your brand stops being a business asset…
and becomes an identity-level transformation.
That’s when:
✨ You raise your rates without negotiating with your fear
✨ You attract clients who respect your time, your genius, and your boundaries
✨ You stop leaking dream dollars to misaligned offers or underpriced packages
✨ You step into elite rooms with the authority you’ve earned
Your brand becomes your bridge.
And sister, that bridge leads to uncommon wealth.
