February and March were some of the hardest months I’ve had both emotionally and in my business - and not for the reasons you might think.

On the outside, things looked fine.
But internally, I was anxious, losing sleep, and questioning everything.

In this episode, I’m sharing a vulnerable, behind-the-scenes look at the story I was telling myself… about my business, my relevance, and whether things were all starting to fall apart.

The truth? Almost none of it was real.

We’ll dive into:

(1:03) The trigger - going down the rabbit hole of despair
(3:33) The catastrophizing - how I managed to convince myself my business was in the gutter
(5:30) The good news - how fear is sometimes worse than the reality of the situation
(7:53) The turnaround - why putting in the work is important in disproving the voices in your head
(13;25) What helped build my confidence back up (business besties, consistency, & giving yourself grace)
(19:19) Why inner confidence trumps most everything

If you’ve ever lost confidence in yourself over your numbers, the business decisions you’ve made, or your future and found yourself spiraling downward… this is for you.

I hope it reminds you that the story in your head isn’t always the truth, and to not let the dark, negative thoughts win - because you ARE amazing, and capable of so much.
