What do you do when the people closest to you don’t believe in your business?

You’ve felt it, right? That sting when someone treats your business like a little hobby or gives you the look—you know the one. It’s frustrating, it’s discouraging, and it makes you wonder if you’re really cut out for this.

In this Listener Question Episode, we’re diving into a real question from Sarah, who’s feeling exactly this struggle. She asked, “How do I handle it when the people in my life don’t take my business seriously?”

This is for anyone who’s felt unsupported, misunderstood, or doubted while trying to build their dream business. And trust me, you’re not alone.

We’ll break it all down, step by step:

Why their opinions have nothing to do with your ability to succeed
How to reframe doubt so it doesn’t hold you back
The mindset shifts you need to protect your confidence
Practical ways to build a community of people who do get it

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a game plan to handle the doubters with grace and move forward with confidence, knowing you don’t need their approval to create something amazing.
