In this illuminating episode of Overwhelmed and Over It, host Gabs sits down with Faith, a nonprofit strategist who's about to celebrate her third year in business. Faith candidly shares how she spent nearly a year battling imposter syndrome and trying to follow everyone else's blueprint for success before having her breakthrough moment.

Together, they explore the danger of chasing arbitrary revenue goals, the importance of aligning your business with your authentic self, and why entrepreneurship feels so hard (spoiler: because it is!). Faith also reveals her exciting next chapter—writing her first book on burnout and building a team that allows her to focus on her zone of genius.

Perfect for early-stage entrepreneurs questioning their path or feeling lost in the noise of "expert" advice, this conversation reminds us that success looks different for everyone, and the most fulfilling journey is the one that stays true to your unique values and vision.
