You know that moment when everything feels hard and you start to wonder if you’ve made a huge mistake? Maybe you’re pivoting, starting over, or stuck in the messy middle, questioning if this dream is actually meant for you.

In this episode, I’m sharing the story of my own “retail studio era.” It was a five-year season filled with risk, burnout, and a lot of soul-searching. At the time, it felt like a failure. But what I couldn’t see back then was that the storm was shaping me for something even better.

Whether you're in the early stages of your business or navigating a big shift, I hope this story reminds you that resistance doesn’t mean you’re on the wrong path. It might be confirmation that you’re exactly where you need to be.

Inside the episode, I talk about:
• The real story behind opening a high-overhead studio
• Why hard seasons hold some of our biggest lessons
• How resistance might actually be preparing you for your next chapter

If you're in a hard season right now, I see you. This one is here to help you feel less alone and a little more hopeful.
