What does starting a business actually look like in real life… not the polished version? In this episode of You Good, Girl?, Susan Jensen and Mika-Taché St. Fleur talk about what it feels like to build something new while life is still happening around you. From disrupted routines after an RVA ice storm to the tension between planning and actually doing, this conversation gets into the messy middle of solopreneur life.

They unpack the pressure to have everything figured out, the reality of building confidence while you're still in motion, and why showing up before you're “ready” is often the only way forward.

If you're navigating a career shift, building a business after corporate life, or trying to find your rhythm as a solopreneur, this episode will feel very familiar.

In this episode:

- How real life (like an ice storm) can throw off your business momentum

- The tension between planning, structure, and actually executing

- What it’s like to start a business after leaving corporate

- Why confidence and visibility don’t always show up at the same time

- The role of friendship, accountability, and collaboration

- Why this podcast is intentionally unpolished and real
