Can't Be Contained

Epi 368: From $30K to $300K: Why Betting on Yourself Changes Everything


Listen Later

Today on Can't Be Contained, I'm sharing a story I don't tell lightly—the year I went from making $30,000 as a waitress to building a $300,000 business by betting on myself before it made sense.

This wasn't luck. And it wasn't waiting until I felt "ready."

In this solo episode, I break down the internal shifts that changed everything—how choosing belief over doubt, acting "as if," and embodying my future self rewired not just my business, but my health, relationships, and sense of self.

We talk about the real difference between empty affirmations and embodied frequency… how breathwork became a body-first tool for breaking old patterns… and why holding your vision especially when things feel shaky is the edge most people miss.

Inside the episode:

➤ Why acting "as if" works when willpower doesn't

➤ How breathwork helps dissolve identity-level blocks (not just mindset ones)

➤ The power of rewriting your story before the world catches up

➤ Three aligned action steps you can take today to close the gap between where you are and where you're going

➤ Why investing in yourself collapses time faster than anything else

If you're building a business, leading others, or feeling the pull to break cycles around money, impact, or self-trust—this episode is your permission slip.

This is about becoming the person who can hold what she's asking for.

One decision. One breath. One bold bet on yourself.
