Back in 2016, I made a decision that looked like failure to most people, but I knew it was the beginning of something.

In this episode, I’m sharing the story of how I started my first salon by investing $5,000 into what others saw as a write-off. No brand. No clients. No business plan. Just energy and vision. I walk you through what really happens in those early days of entrepreneurship, the doubt, the noise, the isolation, and how you lead when there’s no proof yet.

This episode is for the woman who’s building something no one else understands … yet. The one who sees possibility where others see nothing. And the one who knows the version of her that said “yes” when it didn’t make sense still lives inside her.

If you’re:-  Starting something from scratch- Investing in a future no one else can see- Feeling like people are watching (but not supporting)- In a season of doubt, fear, or loneliness…

Then this episode is for you.
