In this episode of the Anti-Hustle Business Podcast, I’m taking you on a little walk down memory lane—a love letter to my 20-something self who said yes to solo adventures, uncomfortable growth, and doing life differently. I’m talking about what it really means to choose yourself—whether that’s going to Ani DiFranco concerts alone, navigating the awkward (and sometimes magical) world of dating, or living a sober life in Italy, completely on my own terms.

These stories aren’t just cute anecdotes. They’re the foundation of the life and business I’ve built today—one rooted in freedom, joy, and no more hustle. I’ve learned that success isn’t about burning out or proving yourself—it's about redefining the rules, claiming your time, and creating something that actually feels good.

So if you’ve been craving permission to go solo, slow down, or simply do things your own way... this one’s for you. Let’s celebrate the version of you who’s brave enough to be seen—even when it's uncomfortable—and who’s building a business and life full of creativity, freedom, and happiness.
