So, you want to start a business?

In this episode, Diana and I share our not-so-glamorous but totally doable journeys of starting businesses from the ground up.

We’ll help you get clear on whether building a business is even for you, how to start small, test your ideas and how to make peace with imperfection. You’ll walk away with tangible steps and permission to start messy.

Key Takeaways:

• You don’t need permission to start a business.
• Fear and perfectionism are lying liars.
• Approval-based thinking will kill your dream.
• Start small. Test first.
• Your business doesn’t have to be full-time or world-changing on Day One.
• If you’re not confident, you’re normal.

This week we’re going to tackle one of the most pressing questions divorced women face: What if you're rebuilding from nothing? What if you had to take on debt just to leave? And what if the shame around your financial situation feels heavier than the actual numbers?

There's a two-word phrase that changes everything when it comes to managing your money. You'll discover unconventional ways women have eliminated major expenses while still living full lives. And you'll hear why one of the biggest lies you've been told might be the very thing keeping you stuck.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Why the emotion attached to your debt matters more than the number
• The two-word reframe that removes anxiety from financial planning
• What actually happens when you call your lenders
• The creative income strategies you've probably never considered
• Why your timeline doesn't have to match anyone else's expectations
