Inner Circle Member Spotlight: Interview with Lee Longmire from Lee Longmire & Co

If you've ever second-guessed yourself in a client conversation or walked away from an email thread thinking “I should’ve said that differently”, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Seed to Success, host Adrienne Donnelly sits down with Seed Inner Circle member Lee Longmire from Lee Longmire & Co, The Message Curator, to talk about what it really looks like to speak up with clarity, confidence and strength as a service provider. Lee is a digital communication specialist who helps women in business stop people-pleasing, get clear on their messaging, and start communicating like the business owners they are.

This episode explores the tricky moments that so many VAs, OBMs and freelancers face. Think scope creep, blurred boundaries, or simply struggling to find the right words when something doesn’t feel quite right. Lee offers thoughtful, practical insights to help you communicate with more confidence and ease, while staying true to your values.

You’ll hear about:

🌱 Why scope creep is often a messaging issue, not just a boundary one

🌱 How to step out of the employee mindset and show up as a business owner

🌱 The subtle language shifts that help you sound more confident and less apologetic

🌱 What it means to lead client conversations with clarity and professionalism

🌱 The importance of community, curiosity and knowing when to say “that’s not in my wheelhouse, but I’m willing to learn”

Whether you're early in your VA journey or have been in business for years, this conversation is a reminder that your voice matters, and that boundaries don’t have to come at the cost of kindness.
