When you’re a small business owner who prides yourself on supporting local, what happens when someone calls you out— for buying Starbucks? In this heartfelt episode, I open up about a personal experience that left me spiralling and the lessons I learned about imperfection, judgment, and the pressure to perform perfectly as a values-driven entrepreneur.

I also share how this moment became a catalyst for change, leading me to show up more transparently in my business and communicate the causes I support behind the scenes. This is a conversation about nuance, empathy, and giving ourselves grace while still doing our best to make a difference.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not doing enough or questioned whether your values align with your actions, this one’s for you.
