Have you ever looked at your business and thought… what is the point?

Like you’ve been showing up, trying, creating, learning, and still not seeing enough movement to prove it’s working?

In this episode of The Bold Biz Podcast, Jenny talks honestly about the part of building a side business that almost nobody shares online, the valley. The slow season. The invisible progress. The weeks and months where it feels like everyone else is moving faster than you.

This is not a “just keep going!” motivational speech.
 It’s a grounded, honest conversation about what the timeline of building something meaningful actually looks like, especially for women building in the margins of busy lives.

💡 In this episode, we talk about:

• Why side business growth is almost never linear
• The “plateau of latent potential” and why progress feels invisible at first
• What the valley actually feels like emotionally
• Why women over 40 often experience the slow season more intensely
• The different seasons of building a business, planting, growing, and harvesting
• Why celebrating small wins matters more than you think
• How to know whether to keep going or pivot

If you’ve been feeling discouraged, impatient, or quietly questioning whether you’re cut out for this, this episode will help you see your journey in a completely different light.

Because slow does not mean stopped.
And the valley is not forever.
