Episode Notes

What does it really look like to rebuild your business from the ground up—while recovering from burnout, going all in on your purpose, and wrangling two toddlers?

In this honest, behind-the-scenes episode, I’m walking you through exactly how I went from “hot mess express” to fully booked and focused in the first six months of 2025. I’m breaking down what I actually did month-by-month, the painful (but necessary) lessons I learned, and why I’m doubling down on helping service providers scale to six figures and beyond. Consider this your permission slip to stop chasing shiny objects and start building the business that can actually support you.
