    Ever had that moment where you're like, 'What if I just gave up and went back to my day job?' Yeah, me too!

    In this episode, we explore the idea that having a Plan B can actually keep us from fully investing in Plan A. Plan B often leads to self-sabotage, as it's easy to dip back into old safety nets instead of pushing forward.

    We reflect on how fear of failure and success can creep in, causing us to hesitate and hold back.

    Structure is a funny thing, right? We all say we want it, but the second we start to implement it, it feels like a straightjacket.

    In this episode, I get real about my own struggles with structure and how it can feel like a battle between our desire for freedom and the accountability that comes with having a plan. We reflect on the energy drain that comes from an unstructured business, where everything feels urgent and nothing gets done efficiently.

    The key takeaway? Structure doesn’t have to mean rigidity.

    Let’s find out how we can create a loose framework that allows for both accountability and creativity, helping our businesses thrive without feeling like we’re trapped.
