In this episode of The Aligned Edit, Veronica Dietz, founder of Tyche Digital Agency, breaks down why most female founders aren’t struggling because of motivation, marketing, or effort, but because their business was built on an identity that was never fully theirs.

As we move into 2026, copy-paste strategy, borrowed business models, and hustle-based growth are no longer sustainable. The internet is smarter, AI is smarter, and buyers are more discerning than ever.

This episode introduces Identity Led Business Strategy as a full operating model, one that aligns your offers, messaging, pricing, systems, and capacity with who you actually are, not who you were told to be.

If your business feels heavy, unclear, or harder than it should, this conversation will help you understand what’s really asking to shift.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• What identity led business strategy actually is (and what it is not)
• Why identity alignment matters more in 2026 than ever before
• The five core pillars of identity led business design
• How misalignment shows up as underpricing, overdelivering, and burnout
• Why surface-level fixes stop working when identity is unclear
• How to design a business around real capacity, not a fantasy version of yourself
• Practical ways to begin realigning your strategy this week
