Entrepreneurship looks shiny on the outside… but behind the scenes? It’s a rollercoaster of pressure, nerves, and lonely late nights. After hosting my second 200-person event, I hit a massive high… and an even bigger crash 2 days later.
In this week’s episode, I take you inside:
- The fear that crept in days before going on stage
- The criticism and advice I got and why I no longer take advice from people who haven’t done what I do
- The post-event crash that hit hard (hello cortisol dip)
- And how I’m training myself to become a high-performing entrepreneur who recovers like a pro
This is the real, raw version of entrepreneurship. It’s not about perfect launches or curated content, it’s about building the capacity to expand. To hold more clients, more pressure, more success, and still feel like yourself along the way.
Growth is not easy, but it’s definitely worth it.
Here are 3 lessons from this season of growth:
1. Reframe the Nerves
When I felt frozen in fear before my event, I reminded myself: you’re not doing this for praise. You’re here to serve. Getting out of your own head and into your purpose flips the script.
💬 Try this: Ask yourself, “Who am I really showing up for today?” It pulls you out of fear and into leadership.
2. Stop Taking Advice From the Wrong People
Not everyone’s opinion is valid. Especially if they’ve never been in the arena fighting the same fight. If someone hasn’t walked the walk, they don’t get to critique your steps.
💬 Try this: Only take feedback from people whose lives, values, and results you’d want for yourself.
3. Anticipate the Cortisol Crash
Big highs often lead to big lows. After massive output, your body needs recovery – and if you ignore and don’t plan for it, you’ll hit a massive wall.
💬 Try this: Schedule recovery before the event or launch. Massage, sleep, alone time. Make it non-negotiable and manage your stress beforehand.

After helping a client with her Instagram account, I realized I needed to do the same because I was showing up in a ‘vanilla’ way. I created a tool that helps you audit your content and immediately shows you why you’re not attracting your dream clients.

If you’ve ever:
- Felt overwhelmed by visibility and pressure
- Questioned your next launch or event
- Needed a reminder that you’re not alone in the chaos
…then this episode is for you.
This is your sign to step into the second half of the year with more clarity, stronger boundaries, and next-level energy.
Because you’re not just growing a business: you’re growing into the leader you were meant to be!
You’re in the arena. You are stronger than you think. Start acting like it and don’t let other people dim your light.
