We were lucky to catch up with Chantelle Phillips recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Chantelle thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. What was it like going from idea to execution? Can you share some of the backstory and some of the major steps or milestones?

My journey into entrepreneurship and building She Is Worthy didn’t begin with a business plan—it began with a personal transformation.

In 2018, I was battling a severe eating disorder after leaving a long term relationship. I had completely lost my sense of worth and identity. At my lowest point, a doctor told me I had only a few months to live if things didn’t change. That became the wake-up call that changed my life.

During my healing journey, I felt God place a simple but powerful message on my heart: *You are worthy.*

At first, that message was just for me. I needed to believe it before I could ever share it with anyone else.

Over the next several years, I focused on rebuilding my life. I invested in personal development, strengthened my faith, built confidence, and continued growing in my corporate sales career. Along the way, I started sharing pieces of my story online and noticed that women kept reaching out with similar struggles around confidence, self-worth, relationships, and identity.

That’s when I realized this message was bigger than me.

The first step wasn’t launching a business—it was saying yes to speaking. I started accepting opportunities to share my story at local events and conferences. My dad even built the very first stage I ever spoke on. Looking back, that moment was symbolic. Before there was a community, a podcast, or events, there were people who believed in me and encouraged me to use my voice.

From there, I launched the She Is Worthy Podcast to reach more women and create conversations around confidence, healing, purpose, and self-worth. As the audience grew, I saw women craving something deeper than social media. They wanted connection. They wanted community.

That’s when the idea for She Is Worthy Community was born.

The next phase involved figuring out the logistics: creating a membership platform, building systems, planning events, creating content, and learning how to turn a vision into an actual experience for women. I had to learn how to host events, build a brand, market a community, and create meaningful experiences that people would want to return to.

The first event was both exciting and terrifying. Like many entrepreneurs, I questioned whether anyone would show up. But women did show up—and more importantly, they kept coming back. They formed friendships, collaborations, businesses, and support systems through the community.

Since then, She Is Worthy has grown into a global women’s networking and empowerment community, complete with monthly masterminds, prayer calls, networking events, speaking opportunities, workshops, and collaborations. What started as a personal message during one of the darkest seasons of my life has become a mission to help women around the world know their worth.

If there’s one lesson I’ve learned, it’s that most businesses don’t start with certainty—they start with obedience. I didn’t have every detail figured out when I began. I simply took the next step, then the next, and trusted that the path would become clearer as I moved forward.

The idea came first, but action is what brought it to life.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

My name is Chantelle Phillips, and I am an empowerment speaker, sales mentor, podcast host, entrepreneur, and the founder of She Is Worthy Community, a global women’s networking and empowerment organization dedicated to helping women know their worth, find their voice, and pursue their purpose.

My journey into this work wasn’t something I planned—it was born from one of the most difficult seasons of my life.

In 2018, I was battling a severe eating disorder after leaving a seven-year toxic relationship. I had completely lost my sense of self-worth and identity. At my lowest point, a doctor told me I had only a few months to live if things didn’t change. During that season, I experienced a profound transformation through faith, healing, and personal growth. It was during that journey that I felt God place a simple but life-changing message on my heart: *You are worthy.*

That message became the foundation for everything I do today.

Professionally, I spent nearly a decade building a successful career in healthcare technology sales, where I became a four-time President’s Club winner and helped generate millions in revenue. Through that experience, I learned that confidence, self-worth, and communication are often the biggest factors separating women from the success they desire—whether in business, relationships, or life.

Today, I combine those experiences to help women grow both personally and professionally.

Through speaking engagements, coaching, courses, events, my podcast, and She Is Worthy Community, I help women build confidence, strengthen their self-worth, develop leadership skills, grow their businesses, and step into the life they were created for.

What makes She Is Worthy different is that it is about so much more than networking.

Women today are craving genuine connection. They want a place where they can be supported, encouraged, and celebrated without competition. They want real conversations about confidence, healing, business, faith, relationships, and purpose. They want to know they are not alone.

That’s exactly what we’ve built.

She Is Worthy Community brings women together through networking events, masterminds, prayer calls, speaking opportunities, workshops, mentorship, collaborations, and meaningful relationships. What started as a personal message has grown into a thriving community where women support one another both personally and professionally.

In addition to the community, I host the She Is Worthy Podcast, where I interview inspiring women and share conversations around confidence, entrepreneurship, personal growth, faith, and self-worth.

I also recently launched a sales training program called *From Pitch to Paid*, which helps women confidently communicate their value, close more sales, and grow their businesses without feeling pushy or salesy. My goal is to show women that sales isn’t about manipulation—it’s about service, confidence, and believing in the value you bring.

One of the things I am most proud of is watching women experience transformation. I’ve seen women launch businesses, become speakers, start podcasts, build confidence, make lifelong friendships, and pursue dreams they once thought were impossible. Those moments are what inspire me every day.

I am also incredibly proud that my family is part of this journey. My dad built the very first stage I ever spoke on, and today he helps with media production for She Is Worthy events. My mom helps oversee operations behind the scenes. What started as a dream has truly become a family mission.

If there is one thing I want people to know about me and my work, it’s this:

I believe every woman has a voice, a purpose, and inherent worth.

My mission is to help women remember who they are, trust themselves, and step boldly into the life they were created to live.

When women know their worth, they change their lives. And when enough women know their worth, they change the world.

We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?

Building my social media audience wasn’t about having a perfect strategy—it was about being authentic and consistently showing up as myself.

When I first started creating content, I shared a lot of fitness and wellness content, which helped me grow my audience. But looking back, I don’t believe fitness was the reason people stayed. I believe they stayed because they connected with me as a person.

I made a commitment to show up consistently, whether I had makeup on or not, whether life felt perfect or messy. I shared my wins, my struggles, my journey, and the lessons I was learning along the way. I wasn’t trying to be someone else—I was simply being myself.

Over time, I realized people weren’t just looking for fitness tips or motivation. They were looking for connection. They wanted real conversations about confidence, self-worth, healing, relationships, business, faith, and personal growth.

As my own journey evolved, so did my content. Today, my platform is focused on empowering women, helping them know their worth, build confidence, and pursue the life they were created for. While fitness may have introduced people to my page, authenticity is what built the community.

My advice for anyone just starting on social media is simple: don’t focus so much on going viral that you forget to be yourself.

People connect with people, not perfection.

Show up consistently.
Share your story.
Talk about what you’re learning.
Let people see the real you.

You don’t need the perfect camera, the perfect lighting, or the perfect content strategy to start. What you need is the courage to show up before you feel ready.

The creators who build lasting communities are often the ones who are willing to be genuine, relatable, and consistent. Authenticity builds trust, and trust is what turns followers into a community.

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

One of the biggest pivots in my life happened when I realized that what I thought was my purpose was actually preparing me for a much bigger one.

For nearly a decade, I built a successful career in healthcare technology sales. I loved helping clients, building relationships, and achieving ambitious goals. I was fortunate to become a four-time President’s Club winner and build a career that many people would consider successful.

At the same time, I had a growing passion for fitness and wellness. Much of my social media audience originally followed me for fitness content, healthy living, and my personal transformation story. For a while, I thought that would be the direction of my personal brand.

But as I continued sharing online, I noticed something interesting. The messages I received weren’t just about fitness. Women were reaching out about confidence, self-worth, relationships, healing, purpose, and personal growth. They wanted deeper conversations.

That’s when I realized my audience wasn’t connecting with me because of fitness alone. They were connecting with my story.

The real transformation in my life wasn’t physical—it was learning my worth after years of struggling with my identity.

So I made a pivot.

Instead of focusing solely on fitness, I began sharing more about confidence, self-worth, faith, healing, business, and personal development. I launched the She Is Worthy Podcast, started speaking on stages, and eventually created She Is Worthy Community, a women’s networking and empowerment organization.

It was scary because anytime you pivot, there’s a risk that people won’t understand the change. But I knew I had to follow what felt authentic and aligned with my purpose.

Looking back, that pivot changed everything.

Today, I still love health and wellness, but my mission is much bigger than fitness. My work is centered around helping women know their worth, find their voice, build confidence, grow their businesses, and pursue the life they were created for.

That experience taught me an important lesson: sometimes growth requires letting go of what is good so you can step into what is truly meant for you. The willingness to pivot allowed me to build a brand, community, and mission that feels deeply aligned with who I am and the impact I want to make.
