🎧 Episode Summary:
In this episode of The Solo Grind, I’m sharing a little truth talk about all the times I’ve been told, “You can’t.” From standing up to bullies on a concrete bench as a kid to launching a business people thought I wasn’t “qualified” to run, I’ve heard it all—and guess what? I did it anyway.
These limitations weren’t always meant to hurt. Most of the time, they came from people who loved me, but were stuck in their own fear. Still, I’ve spent a lifetime proving them wrong—not out of spite, but because I know what I’m capable of (and spoiler alert: success looks real cute on a “can’t”).
So if you’ve ever been underestimated, doubted, or encouraged to play it small—this one’s for you. Let’s talk about quiet confidence, bold moves, and living a life that doesn’t wait for anyone’s permission.
What I hope you get from this episode:
☕ A reminder that someone else’s doubt has nothing to do with your potential.
☕ Encouragement to stop waiting for permission and start moving toward what you want.
☕ Proof that success can be quiet, steady—and incredibly satisfying.
☕ A little boost to trust yourself, even when others don’t get it.
☕ Permission to be bold, do the thing, and let your results speak louder than any “can’t.”
