If you’ve ever felt underqualified, overwhelmed, or like you’re not enough to go after your biggest dreams… this episode is for YOU.

This is a repurposed segment from a powerful conversation I had with the brilliant Sharon McMahon on her podcast, and when I listened back to it, I knew it needed its own spotlight.

In this conversation, we dive deep into the messy middle of entrepreneurship, self-doubt, and the mental gymnastics we do when we feel like imposters in our own success stories. 👀

I talk about how I spent most of my life stuck in a fixed mindset, always scanning rooms to see who was better, smarter, or more worthy than me. And let’s be real, that mental loop had me convinced that I needed to earn my place over and over again.

But what changed everything?

I realized that your cup is refillable. Even if there’s only a drop in it… that drop is proof you can fill it again. Whether you’re feeling half-empty or bone dry, your ability to change your perspective will change your results.

Sharon and I get personal. I open up about my own struggles growing up, how failure has become my best teacher, and why trying to always be the smartest in the room is a surefire way to never grow.

You’ll hear us chat about:

• Why “not being ready” is a myth
• How to reframe failure as a win
• The danger of labeling yourself (like “awkward” or “not good at small talk”)
• Why being present is more powerful than being perfect
• How 98% of your daily thoughts are negative—and how to flip that stat on its head

Sis, this isn’t just theory. These are mindset shifts that I had to learn the hard way—because I was tired of watching other people succeed and wondering why I felt stuck.

So if you’ve ever thought, “Who am I to start this business, launch this offer, show up online?”… I want to flip that question:

Who are you not to?

You are not your past. You are not your fear. And you are certainly not someone who needs to “qualify” for their own dreams.

I hope this shortie episode is the permission slip you’ve been waiting for to step boldly into your next chapter—messy middle and all.
