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.
