Episode 5: Why You Don’t Have to Build Your Business Alone (and How to Find Your People)

🌟 Episode Length: 8 minutes, 40 seconds

In This Episode:

Running a small business can feel incredibly isolating — especially when you’re the one doing everything. If you’ve ever thought, I love my business, but I feel so alone, this episode is for you.

I’m opening up about the loneliness that comes with entrepreneurship — the days when it feels like no one really understands what you're going through — and how finding even one supportive person can change your whole journey. From solo market days to burnout to finally meeting my biz bestie, I’m sharing what helped me find connection, support, and a whole lot more joy in the process.

If you’re craving community, this one’s going to hit home.

What You’ll Hear:

• What no one tells you about the emotional side of working for yourself


• Why loneliness is common in business (and how it shows up)


• How I found my biz bestie — and how you can start building your support system too


• Why asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness


• Small, simple ways to feel more connected (even if you’re an introvert)

Quote to Remember:

“Just because you can do it all, doesn’t mean you should. Support isn’t a weakness — it’s a strength.”
