Back in March, I experienced a zero dollar launch that taught me so much about my business, myself, and my newest offering, The Residency. After a successful Cohort One, I feared the negative result that ended up being the unfortunate reality for The Residency: Cohort Two. I discuss this $0 launch in this episode to normalize failure, reveal what can be learned from an unprofitable launch, and give myself a moment to return to one year from now as a reminder of just how far Hailey and The Residency have come.

I met up with my former client, Christina Heath, to talk about her journey from corporate layoff to project management entrepreneur. This week, we dive deep in the hardest parts of the w2 to entrepreneur transition, including revenge success, comments from others, relationship strains, and parenting woes, and explain how it’s all worth it in the end for the incredible experience of working for yourself.
