Shownotes

I didn’t grow a multi-six figure business because I changed my offers.

I did it because I changed how I held my business—and myself.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the real, unglamorous shifts that helped me go from a 150K year to consistent 20K months in private coaching—before ever switching to a group model.

These are the exact mindset, nervous system, and identity shifts I’ve seen take people out of business if they don’t happen.

And I get it. In 2021, I expected the success of my first six-figure year to continue. What I didn’t realize was that without healing, support, and emotional maturity, I couldn’t hold it. I got isolated, overstimulated, and my undiagnosed ADHD left me stuck in shame.

But everything changed in the last 2 months of that year—and I want to show you what made that shift possible.

You’ll hear me talk about:

  • What allowed me to go from 70K in 10 months… to 80K in 2 months
  • Why therapy and emotional processing—not just mindset work—kept me in business
  • How shame and hyper-independence can sound logical but sabotage your growth
  • Why getting a job isn’t a failure, and how I reframed safety
  • The moment I stopped asking my business to rescue me from my feelings
  • Six shifts that changed my leadership, capacity, and revenue forever

If you’re stuck, rushing, or on the edge of burnout… this episode is your lifeline.

AND, I will be covering what business decisions you need to make off the back of this in my upcoming workshop "Scale Beyond Survival Mode as a WOC: How to book out your next chapter without burning down your business" on Oct 1st.
