In this episode, I share one of the most transformative moments of my life: watching my mom relearn how to walk after aggressive cancer treatments. It was humbling, heartbreaking, and taught me a core truth—if you don’t believe in yourself, nothing else matters.

Even with the support of loved ones, if you lack belief in your vision, your goals, or your ability to make it happen… your dreams will stall.

So what does belief really look like in business? It’s not about pretending everything’s fine or reciting affirmations in the mirror. It’s about choosing to lead with intention, not insecurity. It’s about seeing your future self clearly and making daily decisions that align with her.

This isn’t just mindset fluff—it’s a roadmap for making belief your business strategy.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, afraid, or like your “baby steps” aren’t working fast enough… this episode will remind you that every small, imperfect action counts. And belief? That’s the first one.

Let’s take that step—together.
