This episode is a raw one – and honestly, one of the most unfiltered conversations I’ve had on the podcast so far.
I’m joined by Lizzie, founder of B.X.M, and a former client of mine. We sat down to talk about her business journey, but the conversation quickly took a turn into some deep, honest territory that I think so many founders will relate to.
We talk about the real emotional weight of launching a business, what happens when life throws curveballs during your set-up phase, and the unspoken pressure that hustle culture places on entrepreneurs to constantly be "on" and hitting goals.
In this episode, we unpack:
- The truth behind “you have to spend money to make money”
- What happens when your motivation dips – and life gets in the way
- The pressure to constantly be achieving vs giving yourself grace
- Why toxic hustle culture is harming founders more than helping them
- How Lizzie built her brand while navigating personal challenges
Whether you’re in your first year of business or just feeling the pressure to keep pushing, this conversation is your reminder that it’s okay to pause, reset, and do things your way.
