    The Year I Operationalized My Business and Felt Lost

    What happens after you build the business of your dreams… but have no idea what comes next? In this vulnerable solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really looked like to step away from the day-to-day at Social Curator, operationalize the company, and wait for “the next big thing” to arrive. Spoiler alert: It didn’t. I share how I found myself on a remote island in Hawaii with no social media, no laptop, just a journal—and a lot of questions. Despite outward success, I felt stuck, unsure, and disconnected from my purpose. This is the behind-the-scenes of navigating a personal and professional identity shift, facing silence after momentum, and learning to sit in the unknown. If you’ve ever hit a wall in your business and thought, “What now?”... you’re not alone. Let’s talk about what happens in the in-between. Because friend… if you don’t quit, you can’t lose.

    Why Fear Means You’re On the Right Path

    Can we get real for a second? So many entrepreneurs are waiting to feel "ready." Waiting for the right gear, the right timing, the right confidence. But here's the thing… you’ll never have enough. In this short but mighty episode, I’m sharing a powerful snippet from a past conversation with my friend Ken Coleman—also known as America’s Career Coach—and whew, it’s a gut check. We talk about: The myth that you need more experience, tools, or permission to start.Why being uncomfortable is part of the assignment if you’re growing.The real truth about imposter syndrome (spoiler: it never goes away).And my personal “3 M’s” that I lean on when the fear tries to creep in.This is a message for anyone who’s sitting on a dream because they’re afraid of being judged, failing publicly, or starting messy. Let me remind you: people will always have an opinion—whether you sit on the couch or start that business, whether you win or fail. So if you’re going to be judged anyway, you might as well be judged while chasing your purpose. Let’s normalize failing forward. Let’s normalize standing up after getting knocked down—again and again. Because the people you see “winning” didn’t avoid failure… they just kept getting up. The next time fear whispers, “Who are you to do this?” I want you to flip it and ask, “Who am I not to?” This episode is a short pep talk, a rally cry, and a reminder that your purpose doesn’t need permission. Let’s stop waiting. Let’s start doing. Click play to hear all of this and: [00:36] Why we believe we need more than we actually do to start [01:19] “You’ll never feel like enough”—what we must accept to grow [01:52] People will always have opinions—do it anyway [02:56] The truth about getting knocked down (and getting up again) [03:43] The 3 M’s that helped me move past imposter syndrome [04:24] Why your message, your medium, and you still matter 🎧 Listen to the full episode with Ken Coleman, How Fear is Getting in the Way of Your Success, >>HERE Connect With Ken Coleman: Ken Coleman is America’s Career Coach and the #1 national bestselling author of From Paycheck to Purpose and The Proximity Principle.
