Led by Experience, Built with Intention
Building Her Dream was founded by Shayla Burtin, a business strategist and Director of Operations who has spent years supporting multi-passionate CEOs behind the scenes as they build sustainable, freedom-first businesses.
As an introvert herself, Shayla understands the pressure to be louder, faster, and more visible. She created Building Her Dream as a different kind of space. One rooted in storytelling, thoughtful strategy, and community support that honors how introverted women actually work and grow.
Building Her Dream exists to help introverted women feel supported, visible, and confident as they build businesses, careers and lives on their own terms.
