Today is Part 2 of our Six Figure Series, I sit down again with my business besties, Laura and Andrea, to get real about the grind of building a business as female founders.

Check out Part One of Journey to Six Figures: What's Blocking You?

What We Cover in This Episode:

• The truth about imposter syndrome and money blocks when scaling past your first glass ceiling
• Laura’s journey into UGC (user-generated content) and why it’s actually easier to charge what you’re worth when you’re having fun
• Andrea’s story of hitting burnout, taking a month off, and completely rebranding her design studio
• My own breakthroughs around hiring a VA, raising prices, and finally feeling confident in sales (plus the emotional crash I had before I got there)
• Why stability in your first year as an entrepreneur is something to celebrate just as much as hitting six figures
• The role subconscious blocks play in business growth and how to rewire them

If you’re a small business owner or female founder chasing six figures, this episode will make you feel less alone.
