Ep 173: 3 Truths That Would Have Saved Me $160K and 5 years
You don’t need to burn it all down.
But if you’re building from someone else’s blueprint, it might be time to pause.
Because the strategy isn’t failing you.
It’s just not calibrated to you yet.
This episode is not a takedown of mentorship.
It’s a reflection on what I had to learn the long way, despite being in the room, despite doing the work, despite making the investment.
Inside, I'm sharing the biggest lessons I've learnt from $160k and 5 years in high-level mentorship. You’ll hear:
▫️ Why no strategy can override a dysregulated nervous system
▫️ How your identity is shaping your results - even when the strategy is “right”
▫️ The reason your business model must match your energy - not just your goals
This episode is a permission slip and a call to self-leadership.
I’m not handing you the lessons so you can skip the journey.
I’m handing them to you so you can meet yourself in it- with more clarity, more compassion, and way less pressure.
Takeaways to Reflect On:
Where am I still waiting for someone to give me the answer, instead of trusting my own rhythm?
What parts of my business feel heavy, not because they’re wrong, but because they’re misaligned with my energy?
What would change if I trusted my internal safety more than someone else’s external system?
