Going solo doesn’t mean going it alone.

In this Mini Moment, Jen is joined by Sherri from Timely to unpack what really happens behind the scenes of solo businesses. From the emotional weight of doing it all, to the turning point most business owners hit at 18 months, they explore the silent struggles and simple shifts that can make solo life feel less… solo.

💬 Inside:

• Why “solo” doesn’t mean unsupported (and what to call it instead)
• The cheer squad exercise that changes everything
• What no one tells you about client data, systems & automation
• Learning fatigue, mindset overload & how to take your power back

Whether you're just starting out or deep in the juggle, this episode will remind you that support is a strategy—and success doesn't have to be lonely.
