#103 - 5 Moments That Almost Broke Me in 2025 and The Lessons That Made Me a Better Entrepreneur

As we wrap up 2025, I knew I needed to share the real, raw lessons that shaped me the most this year — not just the shiny wins, but the moments that almost broke me.

In this vulnerable solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing 5 mindset shifts that came from deeply uncomfortable, even humiliating, moments in my business and personal life this year.

If you’ve been through your own fire lately, I hope this helps you feel seen and supported.

We’re talking:
✨ What to do when people judge you
✨ How to protect your energy on social
✨ Setting boundaries with clients + collaborators
✨ Showing up as your next-level self
✨ Why belief is the real strategy
