Ever been so overwhelmed by your own ambitions that you didn’t know where to start?

This episode is for you.

Join me as I take you behind the scenes of my journey into a high-level mastermind—a $45,000 investment, 2 a.m. calls, lost luggage, and all. I’m sharing the raw, real moments of self-doubt, growth, and the unexpected lessons I learned about leadership, clarity, and what it truly takes to scale a business.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How feeling awkward and out of place can actually be a sign of growth.
• The power of giving yourself space to think (and fell - ugh!) and why it’s essential for clarity and focus.
• How to shift from feeling overwhelmed to creating a clear plan for your business.
• Practical strategies for mapping out your goals and staying on track, even when life feels chaotic.

This isn’t just a story about my experience; it’s a challenge for you to rethink how you approach growth and success in your own business. If you’re ready to lean into discomfort, think differently, and take bold action, this episode will give you the insights and inspiration you need.
