    You'll Figure it Out: The Journey of the Jump with Berkly McQueen

    In this deeply honest episode of the UNIQUEFemme Podcast, Cynthia sits down with Berkley, founder of B Fitness, an all-women’s gym built from grit, intuition, and an unwavering belief that women deserve a space of their own. Together, they peel back the curtain on what it really looks like to build a business as a woman and a mother — the doubt, the debt, the fear, the late nights, the “I don’t know how… but I’m going to try anyway.” Berkley shares the raw truth of opening B Fitness, navigating motherhood only weeks after giving birth, facing financial barriers, tuning out the people who didn’t believe in her, and learning one of the most powerful lessons of entrepreneurship: You don’t wait until you’re ready. You decide. You jump. And you figure it out. This conversation is a reminder that women build empires in the in-between moments — in the chaos, in the courage, in the community we create around us. From resilience and risk-taking to financial freedom and building a space where women can feel strong, seen, and supported, this episode offers the kind of wisdom you only get from women who have lived it.

Their conversation explores the tender balance between vulnerability and strength and how honouring our uniqueness allows us to step more fully into confidence, creativity, and purpose. Liz opens up about the role of nervous system regulation in intuitive work, the importance of listening to the inner child, and how joy and play are not luxuries, but essential parts of growth. Together, Cynthia and Liz reflect on the courage it takes to break free from societal expectations, release the hustle mentality, and follow the path of authenticity. Liz’s story is a reminder that personal transformation and business growth often bloom from the same roots: trust, self-acceptance, and the willingness to create space for community, play, and inner wisdom.
