Hey there, beautiful solopreneurs. Today, we’re digging into something so many women silently struggle with: Survival Mode. You know what I’m talking about—those days (or weeks… or years) where you’re doing everything just to stay afloat. You’re constantly reacting, constantly managing, and constantly exhausted.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too. And the hardest part? You don’t even realize it’s become your norm. That’s why today’s episode is all about showing you why survival mode keeps you stuck—and more importantly, how to break free from it so your business can grow with clarity and confidence.

If you've ever avoided checking your bank account or felt guilty about charging what you're worth, you're not alone. Today, we’re talking about something real and personal—your relationship with money.

Because money isn’t just about dollars and cents—it’s deeply emotional, and for many women solopreneurs, it’s tangled up with shame, fear, and old stories we never even realized we were carrying. This episode might just be the mindset shift you didn’t know you needed.
