What happens when you get laid off... and decide to bet on yourself?

In this episode, I'm sitting down with my friend Andrea from Merveille Studios to talk about the raw reality of her first year as a business owner after being laid off from her corporate job. From navigating imposter syndrome and undercharging to celebrating her first $10K month and learning how to build a sustainable business, this conversation is full of honest lessons every entrepreneur needs to hear.

Whether you're a beginner in business, growing your first company, or looking for real founder stories that go beyond the highlight reel, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we cover:

  • What it was really like getting laid off and starting a business full-time
  • The biggest lessons from a first year in business
  • Why referrals alone aren't a sustainable marketing strategy
  • Learning sales, funnels, and client acquisition from scratch
  • Pricing with confidence and overcoming imposter syndrome
  • The truth behind hitting a $10K month
  • Burnout, work-life balance, and becoming your own worst boss
  • Why success isn't just measured by revenue
  • How to build a business that gives you more freedom—not less

If you love hearing honest female entrepreneur journeys and real scaling stories, this episode will leave you feeling inspired, prepared, and a little less alone on your own business journey.
