Building a Movement, Not Just a Business with Bridget James Ling of Freedom Queen
Today's guest is the one and only Bridget James Ling — founder of Freedom Queen, a $10M brand that has helped over 12,000 clients build movements and scale to seven figures and beyond. In this episode, Bridget pulls back the curtain on everything: how she went from hustling multiple jobs in New York City to building a global brand, the spiritual evolution that changed how she leads, and why the most dangerous place to be is when you're achieving all your goals but you've lost the vision. We talk about the difference between goals and vision, why growth seasons look like nothing is happening (but everything is), how Bridget went from $100K months to $1M months, and what it really means to build a movement from the truth of who you are. This one is a full activation. Grab your journal. IN THIS EPISODE Intro: Jackie shares what's been expanding in her life since recording this episode and introduces the I Made It May challenge
Origin: How Bridget went from working multiple jobs in NYC — selling furniture, walking dogs, teaching dance — to launching Freedom Queen in 2019
Faith journey: From a Methodist upbringing to atheism to building a business with God in every part of it — Bridget's honest evolution with faith
Winning out loud: The most vulnerable thing you can do is win — what it looked like after Bridget's first million-dollar month and first Freedom Queen Live
Vision vs goals: Why a goal without vision starts to eat at your soul — and what to do when you've hit every milestone but lost the plot
Growth seasons: The Easter egg moments that signal a quantum leap is coming — and how to recognize them when you're in it
The cracks: Why disruption and hard things happening behind the scenes are actually signs you're expanding — including the Dubai story
100M vision: What Bridget is stripping back as she takes Freedom Queen from 10M to 100M — and why she's doing less to move people more
Freedom Queen Live: What year three of the event looks like, the "freedom to be" theme, and the launch of The Art of Moving the Masses
Rapid fire: The money belief she had to release, what she let go of to grow (mic drop answer), and the woman she is becoming
