“…help me figure out what I am, because I, that wasn't clear to me as well. If I'm going to be an entrepreneur, what am I?”

In this episode of Startups in Stilettos, hosted by Ingrid Zapata-Read, we sit down with operations strategist Faith Morris to unpack the identity crisis so many entrepreneurs face when they outgrow the way they’ve been running their business—and even outgrow their own job titles.

From hitting rock bottom after moving back to the U.S. from Australia, to building Remote Ops Partner from scratch, Faith shares the unfiltered truth about burnout, panic attacks, confidence loss, and the moment she realized asking for help was the breakthrough. Her story is a powerful reminder that rock bottom can be the most strategic place to rebuild.
