Like building the perfect house, for years, I believed that building the perfect brand was the key to business success. But the longer I stayed in business, the more I realized that kind of perfection isn’t the goal—it’s really a trap.

If you've ever felt stuck in motion, tweaking endlessly, or waiting for the “right time” to take action—this episode is for you.

I’m sharing one of the most powerful mindset shifts I’ve made in my business (inspired by a surprising animal metaphor 🦈). It’s helped me break out of the overthinking loop and grow a business that’s not only profitable—but alive and well.
