What does it really look like to grow up inside a business, and then go on to build several of your own? In this episode of In Her Words, I sit down with Pame Barba, facilitator, strategist, and leadership coach, to trace her winding path from a sweater factory in Ecuador to a startup incubator in Atlanta to her current season as a full-time corporate employee who never stopped being an entrepreneur at heart.

Pame shares the honest, unglamorous side of entrepreneurship, the anxiety that drove some of her biggest decisions, the moment she realized she was chasing the wrong metrics, and why she thinks portfolio careers are the future.

Topics Discussed in the Episode

• Growing up entrepreneurial across two countries and industries
• Burning out of tech at 27 and starting a business from scratch
• The mindset game no one warns you about in entrepreneurship
• How anxiety quietly ran her business decisions for years
• Redefining "enough" instead of chasing big revenue goals
• Why different seasons of life call for different career paths
