Blind Faith & Emotional Grit – Balancing Passion and Practicality in Entrepreneurship

In this episode of Enterprise Confessional, we’re diving into the emotional side of entrepreneurship that rarely gets talked about the tug-of-war between passion and practicality, the mental weight of ownership, and the deep internal work required to keep showing up when you’re climbing blind.

Deshea opens up about what it really takes to build a business when you’re navigating life’s valleys, carrying generational weight, and still expected to perform. She shares how circumstances you’re born into can either propel you or paralyze you — and how mature emotional intelligence is often the real currency of longevity in business.

This episode explores

• The emotional balance required to push through self-doubt and survival-mode
• The quiet battle of asking “is this even what I want?” when you’re already in motion
• The power of support systems — including therapy, coaching, and mentorship — to help you navigate internal blind spots
• What full-throttle commitment looks like when the vision is bigger than the fear

If you’ve ever questioned your path, felt alone in your pivot, or struggled to reconcile your ambition with your emotions — this one’s for you.

Because success doesn’t come from strategy alone.

It comes from emotional grit.
