Join me for an unfiltered look at the messy transition from corporate life to entrepreneurship. In this raw and honest episode, I dive into the reality of being your own boss: from managing time without the structure of a 9-5 to dealing with imposter syndrome. Learn how I'm navigating the challenges of building a business while redefining what success and failure mean in this new chapter of my life.

⚡Mentioned in the episode:

• The transition from having a structured 9-5 schedule with guaranteed paychecks to being responsible for creating your own opportunities.
• The importance of maintaining certain routines and physical setups to help your nervous system adjust to the change.
• The challenge of being a "team of one" - having to wear all the hats including accountant, content creator, and social media manager, with no backup person to handle tasks when you're unavailable.
• Managing the constant battle with self-doubt and imposter syndrome.
