13. Build From Your Story - Not From Scratch with Janessa Steward

What if the business you’re building isn’t meant to start from scratch… but from your story?

In this episode, Tina sits down with social media strategist Janessa Steward, who’s built a business rooted in honesty, alignment, and lived experience.

Janessa opens up about becoming a young mom, losing everything she thought defined success, and rebuilding her life and business with intention.

Together, they talk about:

• What it really means to build a business that tells the truth about who you are

• How to simplify systems so your business feels lighter, not heavier

• Why creativity and structure can - and should - coexist

• The power of repurposing what you already have instead of starting over

• And how to sell in a way that feels natural, not forced

If you’ve ever felt like you’re rebuilding, redefining success, or trying to make business feel good again, this episode will remind you that your story isn’t something to hide - it’s what you’re meant to build from.
