Coffee Playdate Podcast Episode: Entrepreneurship Isn’t All Puppies and Rainbows – The Realistic Truth with Candice Lazar

Short Description: Candice Lazar shares her unconventional journey from corporate marketing and law school to becoming a breathwork coach and entrepreneur. She opens up about the mindset shifts required, why she hid her legal background for years, and the importance of being realistic about entrepreneurship while staying authentic.

Key Takeaways ✨

• Knowing “the secret sauce” (whether from law or marketing) can remove some magic but is incredibly valuable for business.

• Entrepreneurship is not “do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” Everyone has hard days.

• Hiding parts of your story often makes things harder — authenticity builds trust and simplifies everything.

• The best approach for new entrepreneurs: Learn + Do in tandem. Don’t get stuck in endless research mode.

• Small, meaningful moments often matter more than big, expensive gestures.
