In this vulnerable and deeply personal episode, Shelby Clement opens up about the life-changing moment she was selected as one of only 10 ambassadors for the fast-growing clothing brand NUUDS an opportunity she never applied for, never strategized for, and never saw coming.

What makes this story powerful isn’t just the brand partnership — it’s what was happening behind the scenes.

Just months before receiving the invitation, Shelby had deleted social media, questioned her calling, and privately wrestled with burnout, doubt, and what she describes as “functional depression.” She was exhausted from building, pouring, and pushing — all while navigating business ownership, motherhood, marriage, and faith. In a moment of surrender, she asked God what He wanted her to do next.

And then the email came.

In this episode, Shelby takes listeners behind the scenes of the Dallas mentorship retreat, the whirlwind snowstorm travel chaos, the imposter syndrome that crept in, and the hallway conversations that challenged her to level up. She shares the raw truth about being in rooms that stretch you, receiving feedback that humbles you, and realizing that growth requires both confidence and correction.

This episode covers:

1. Faith-driven business decisions and surrendering control
2. Personal brand evolution and showing up authentically
3. Influencer marketing and high-level brand partnerships
4. Navigating burnout and functional depression as an entrepreneur
5. Overcoming imposter syndrome in bigger rooms
6. Building authority and growing a podcast with intention
7. What it really takes to earn opportunities you didn’t see coming
8. Learning to celebrate wins instead of immediately chasing the next milestone

Shelby also dives into the mindset shift she experienced — from seeing herself as “not an influencer” to embracing the influence she already carries. She reflects on what it means to be chosen, to be stretched, and to grow into the next version of yourself without losing authenticity.

If you're building a business while raising babies, questioning your calling while still showing up, or trying to balance ambition with faith — this episode is going to hit home.

You are not behind.

You are not crazy for wanting more.

And you are not alone in the tension between doubt and destiny.

This is a story about surrender, growth, humility, and stepping fully into the rooms God opens, even when they feel too big
