My financial situation this year is giving... erratic. I share every detail in today's ep and why I'm not calling 911 yet.

After YEARS of steady monthly recurring revenue that paid all my basic expenses and then some, I changed my business model in late 2025, which resulted in seeing income numbers I haven't seen since year 1 of starting my business. I'm talking "how am I going to afford all this month's expenses?" kind of numbers.

At first, I was chill, leaning on my savings and systems. Then, I freaked out. HOW TF DID THIS HAPPEN?! I thought I mastered budgeting and forecasting??

I share the full story, what I did to turn the ship around, and share practical advice on what to do when you're in a similar sitch.
