I almost didn't do it. In this quick, honest episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the imposter syndrome that nearly stopped me from building the Moms Made for More Summit, my new event for moms who want more for themselves beyond motherhood. It's outside my usual lane, and that "who are you to do this?" voice showed up disguised as totally reasonable strategy. If you're sitting on an idea, offer, or pivot you keep talking yourself out of, this one's for you.

In this episode, you'll hear:

  • Why imposter syndrome disguises itself as logical, "reasonable" business decisions
  • The excuses I had lined up (and why they sounded so convincing)
  • The one question that flipped my decision from "Am I qualified?" to "Am I going to let fear write the ending to my year?"
  • Why the decision got simpler, even though it didn't get easier
  • What it means to choose the bold thing over the safe thing before 2026 wraps up
  • A first look at the Moms Made for More Summit and how to get on the waitlist
