What happens when the business advice that everyone swears by nearly breaks you?

In this vulnerable solo episode, Kaylie shares the honest truth behind her attempt to pre-sell a course while juggling a toddler, client work, and chronic illness. 

Spoiler: it didn’t go to plan—and it left her questioning everything.

You’ll learn why traditional validation advice often fails creatives in messy life seasons, and how to test your course or product ideas in a gentler, more sustainable way. 

Kaylie walks you through her 5-step approach to idea validation that actually fits real life—and gives you permission to build in a way that works for you.

If you’re a creative educator, digital product maker, or aspiring course creator who’s tired of hustle culture and ready to do things differently—this episode is for you.

• The real risks of pre-selling when life is unpredictable
• Alternative ways to validate your ideas without pressure
• How to build a content buffer so you’re not scrambling
• Practical steps to find out what your audience actually needs
