I know what it feels like to dream of building something meaningful while battling self-doubt, financial worry, and the isolation of going out on your own. As a single mom, entrepreneur, and coach, I launched my business with limited resources and plenty of imposter syndrome whispering, “Who am I to do this, you don’t have your stuff together to run a business”. Over the years, I’ve navigated uncertainty, shifted from nonprofit and criminal justice work into full-time entrepreneurship. It is not easy but taking it day by day has helped me focus on the here and now. My lived experience has taught me resourcefulness, transparency and the importance of community support. You are not alone in these feelings, don’t let fear of success keep you from your dream.
