It’s my birthday episode! 🎉

Today I’m turning 39, and to celebrate I’m sharing 39 lessons I’ve learned about life, business, travel, and entrepreneurship along the way.

If you’ve been part of my journey for a while, you know it’s been quite the ride. I’ve built businesses, pivoted businesses, hosted retreats, launched memberships, started and renamed podcasts, joined host agencies, and recently launched my own travel agency.

Some lessons I learned the easy way…

Many I learned the very hard way.

But every single one helped shape the business and life I’m building today.

In this episode, I’m sharing 39 honest lessons about entrepreneurship, mindset, marketing, travel, relationships, and creating a life you actually love living.

And fun fact: when this episode goes live, I’ll actually be on a cruise on the Carnival Valor sailing from New Orleans — so if you want to follow along with the adventure, come hang out in my stories!

This episode is part reflection, part pep talk, and part reminder that you don’t have to have everything figured out to start building the life you want.

In This Episode We Talk About:

✨ Why you don’t need permission to start a business

✨ Why done is better than perfect (every time)

✨ The truth about visibility and why most people just need to know you exist

✨ Why email lists are gold and social media is borrowed land

✨ The importance of community, relationships, and networking

✨ Why confidence only comes after action

✨ How to deal with people who don’t support your dreams

✨ Why rest is productive and burnout helps no one

✨ The reality that your dream business will evolve over time

✨ And the biggest reminder of all: build a life you don’t need to escape from

My Favorite Reminder From This Episode

You don’t need everything figured out.

You just need the next step.
