This week I’m sharing my story from my new private podcast series, Staying Solo Stories. 

Staying Solo Stories is a private podcast where we dig into the real, unfiltered stories of business owners who’ve chosen to stay intentionally small—people who are proving every single day that you don’t need a big team or a complicated business model to be successful.

In this episode, I share how I went from a freelancer with a baby at home to a business owner who’s still here, 20 years later—without scaling, without burning out, and without playing by the usual rules.

Topics discussed in this episode:

  • Starting a business out of necessity, not ambition.

  • How I built my business via relationships.

  • Experimenting with online business and learning some hard lessons.

  • Choosing to stay small and sustainable on purpose.
