In this episode, we sit with Leonie as she shares her inspiring transition from a government job to becoming a full-time entrepreneur. She discusses how she gradually and playfully built her business, which now boasts an annual revenue of $1 million. I ask about her experience managing a business while navigating autism, ADHD as well as postpartum depression, and she offers valuable insights for others facing similar challenges. We also explore the importance of prioritizing self-care and why perfectionism can be a hindrance rather than a help.
