#100 - Living in the Messy Middle: 100 Lessons on Resilience, Visibility & Building a Business Through Hard Seasons

What does it really look like to keep showing up when life is falling apart behind the scenes?

In this deeply personal 100th episode of Mindset to Market, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real-life challenges of building a purpose-driven business while navigating grief, caregiving, burnout, and big life shifts.

This episode is for every solopreneur who’s ever wondered:

• Can I still grow my business when I’m completely overwhelmed?
• How do I stay visible when I feel like hiding?
• What do I do when my capacity is limited but the dream is still alive?

I’m sharing the systems that kept my business running, the boundaries I had to learn the hard way, and the unexpected friendships and clarity that came from one of the hardest years of my life.

You’ll also hear what I’ve learned from 100 episodes, 20 incredible guests, and why continuing to show up imperfectly, honestly, and with intention is the key to building something that lasts.

If you’re tired, tender, and still trying… this one’s for you.

 Be honest, is your highlight reel leaving out the part where you're barely holding it all together with one hand and then you're still trying to build your business with the other? If the answer is yes, you're not alone. And the truth is that sometimes we have to keep building our dream in the middle of a storm, even when we're tired.

Even when you're grieving, even when nobody else seems to see how. Hard. This really can be. So this episode is for every solopreneur who has ever wondered if it's okay to show up messy. This is the 100th episode of the Mindset to Market Podcast, and I decided that the most important thing I could share with you would be the truth behind what it really took me to get here.

It hasn't been all fun and games, but I truly believe, and I believe this podcast is proof that if we just keep showing up gently, imperfectly, and honestly, that the magic does still happen, and we do make those connections that move us forward. And so today I'm gonna be sharing what I have learned after 100 episodes.

Hey there, and welcome to the Mindset To Market Podcast, your go-to place for practical tools and solutions for the everyday challenges of being a creative and spiritual solopreneur living in a material world. I'm your host, Debra Smith. I'm a holistic business coach with 17 years of experience, and I help my clients bust through mindset blocks and build a daily practice that prioritizes your business's financial growth.

As well as your personal health and wellness. I'm here to offer you support, creativity, mindset, practical how-tos, and getting into imperfect messy actions so you can find balance while building the dream business. If you're a purpose-driven soul entrepreneur who's working on that dream one day at a time, then you're in the right place.

Let's dive in. Hey friend, welcome back to Mindset to Market, or welcome to, if this is your first time listening. Today is episode 100, which, wow. Um, I honestly cannot believe I just said that out loud. 100 episodes seemed like. An impossible dream when I first started this thing, so, and I'm sure everyone out there who has a podcast and who's been at it forever, reached a point like this where they were like, wow, I cannot believe, number one, how fast that went.

And number two, that I actually made it this far. Um, it means I've hit record 100 times to share my thoughts, my feelings, my ideas, and, and practical wisdom on how to overcome challenges inside. Specifically the business of being a solopreneur with a purpose, with a passion, with, you know, a heart, with your heart in your business.

And oftentimes I did it with a smile. Um, sometimes I did it fighting back tears, and sometimes I did it at two in the morning when, when I had the inspiration or like a deadline struck, you know, and I had no choice. Um, but, so today I just wanted to do something a little bit different. If you've been listening, then, you know, I try to create in between guest episodes, I try to bring, you know, either teaching episodes where I'm literally like, you know, hit pause, do the work or mindset episodes, which are more inspirational and kind of like a way to think differently about some of the challenges that we face.

But today I wanted to offer a slightly more vulnerable peek behind the scenes. Um, this is gonna be more of a heart to heart. Truth telling. Um, because if you've been building a business yourself, especially one that is purpose driven and built around your gifts and your personal talents and you know, a dream that you have, then you already know that most of the time it's not easy.

It, you know, especially if you're in the building phase, and I speak to a lot of people who are either at the beginning of building out their marketing systems or in the messy middle. And so today I just wanna talk about the parts that I haven't always shared to keep it real, to keep it honest with you.

Um, and the truth is that this year, 2025 was extremely challenging and hard for me on a personal level, and I think many. Can relate. I don't think 2025 was a good year for that many people. It's been a really tough year. Um, I feel like we're gonna be able to look back at this time, like 10 years into the future.

We'll be looking back and we'll have so much more clarity on why that was. Um, it's not just like the sociopolitical stuff happening. I think it has something to do with just the duration of time past the very platelet shifting pandemic that we all just survived. It's, it's only been a few years since we had that, you know, major recalibration in our lives.

So, but um, yeah, this has been one of the hardest years of my life, even though I am so grateful and privileged to have all that I have and to have my business, um, you know, I've shared many times, but not in great detail that I'm in year five of. Uh, in the role of caregiver for my mom and I share that role with my older sister, and I've talked about this a little bit on different, I think I did one dedicated episode to it, and I should do more because it's really challenging.

And I say this with such deep love and gratitude, like my entire physical, cellular being. I would not change a thing. I would not. If I could, I would not take any of it back. Um, but most of the time this is an exhausting role. So caregiving is a full-time job. It's deeply emotional. Um, it's sacred work and it has changed everything in my life.

And when you're in it, when you're in crisis mode with somebody who's having a physical health crisis, everything is skewed. You lose sight of. The, the what once was normal and it sometimes you can totally lose perspective on all the other things in your life. So this has changed so much for me. It has changed my finances, my energy levels, my time, my availability, um, and, and my capacity for what my nervous system can handle and hold, which means it's put a huge strain on.

All of the other norms in my life, it's put a strain on my marriage because we're constantly negotiating. Like any major event, any holiday, birthday, a trip, um, any big decision whatsoever is calibrated around what's going on with our sick parent. So, um, that's super challenging and it grows old. Uh, it, it's cost me friendships, honestly, that, I mean, I hate to say this, but like I've had lifelong people who I thought were ride or die years in the making, sometimes decades in the making friendships that just quietly unraveled, uh.

And that's because many of those friendships were based on me being sort of the core energy source that held the container together. And when I stopped being available to hold it all together and when I wasn't the glue anymore, things just kind of fell apart. And that was the. Honestly, that was heartbreaking.

Um, but I have to own the role that I played in that, right? I had to take a good, hard look at some of my old people pleasing patterns that I learned in early young life and recognize that I had been co-creating that dynamic where I was needed more than I was supported. And if that just rattled your cage a little bit.

You know, let's linger there for a minute. 'cause that that's a really hard pill to swallow. That is a jagged little pill. And honestly, that same pattern. Had been present in some of my early client relationships where it was so important to me to be of service and to be needed by my clients that I would forego and cross my own boundaries with things like, you know, time constraints, like how much time and energy I would be willing to give or pricing, like how, whether or not I would raise my prices on people that I knew needed me but didn't have the money.

Right? So it, it really shows up in a lot of places. And this, this. This caregiving scenario that I've been in has forced me to look at those, those, uh, those relationships as well. So I've had the opportunity to examine those boundaries this year and not so fun. Honestly, not such fun work. But here is a blessing that came from it in the process of taking a deeper look at those patterns and identifying what no longer gets to take up so much space in my life because as I mentioned at my capacity was so diminished, I honestly didn't have a choice.

It was either I lose my business because I don't have time left for my clients, and so my clients don't feel like they're getting the, the, the benefit that they paid for. Um, or I cut out some of the. You know, energy vampires in my life that were not really reciprocal and acknowledge and admit that I had been co-creating that dynamic.

And in the absence of those, those imbalanced situations, whether it be with a client or um, you know, or a past friendship or whatever. I also have had the opportunity to, to deepen the friendships that were meant to last, and that where there is a lot of synergy and symbiotic, you know, re reciprocity honestly.

So. Um, that's been really interesting and challenging and it's really made this year an emotional rollercoaster for me. And the other thing that's so cool, which I didn't expect, is that in that shift, I've also had, uh, the chance to make a bunch of brand new friends, mostly through internet based networking and business stuff.

But I've been so inspired and motivated by these new people coming into my life, and so that's been so exciting, many of whom were guests on this podcast. And it's a beautiful gift to be in a relationship with a person or with people who can hold space when you are the one who needs help. It's a true gift, so.

Somewhere along the line this year, it just hit me like a frying pan in the face. My time is so limited. My energy is so sacred. My clients deserve the absolute best and, and that means that I have to be radically clear about where I put my focus. And so this year was a year that I had to become extremely disciplined and step back from a lot of things that were no longer, you know.

Something that served me or that I could hold space for and step into other situations where more presence and more peace were available. And I would say the area that I struggled the most with this, and, and particularly around this podcast, is that that little topic of visibility. So let's talk about the business side of the story, because the kicker is that a big part of my job is helping women and anyone I work with men as well, become more clear and therefore becoming more visible when you become more clear about what you do and who you serve.

People will start to sift and soar and they will find you. You naturally become more visible to people. So I help my clients find their voice, share a clear message, and build a, a system around that that serves their purpose, right? Build a a system that can help them create recurring income. So what happens when I don't feel like being visible?

What happens when I have just been on the phone for over an hour with a nurse or an insurance carrier, and I hang up and I'm feeling just so frustrated, or many times I'm in tears because I'm just gobsmacked at the way our healthcare in this country I live in America, um, it is, is going like, it's really hard for people who have a terminal or long-term illness to get the right type of care.

Many days it feels impossible to navigate and. We just have a broken healthcare system in America. Like really? We just really do, and I should shout out with most high honors, the people who work within that broken system and continue to show up with resilience and strength. The nurses, the doctors, the RSAs, the RAs, the.

You know, the PAs, all the people that work in the hospitals and in the assisted living communities and in the acute rehab systems and doctors' offices, those people are angels and they're soldiers and they're warriors and they're primarily amazing human beings, but they themselves are navigating a broken system.

It's really challenging. So needless to say, you know, there are, it's just difficult. And there were many, many moments this year when I did not have the capacity to show up. Pretend that I was okay and it meant saying no to so many opportunities that I was offered. I was offered opportunities to speak on stages this year that I had to turn down.

I was offered opportunities to present inside people's memberships this year that I had to turn down. Um, I said no to so much this year that broke my heart. But I also knew that I needed to somehow stay connected, um, and, and not lose it all completely in these moments of really down energy. So as you probably know, if you've been listening to this podcast, I lean in hard to systems.

And while I was producing this podcast week after week, uh, and showing up for my clients in my spare time, I was building automations that could take on everything else. Like I literally in 2025 automated everything I could. So specifically, I set up auto responses to every single open doorway that I have out there on the internet.

So no matter when. I actually see the message. The sender is going to get a reply right away just to let them know I am here. I exist. I'm reliable and trustworthy. Even if it's not the human being in this red hot minute responding to you, you're gonna get an auto response that says, here's what you can expect from me.

Right. That's just a really simple way to remain professional when you need to unplug for a minute. Um, I rewrote a lot of my podcast episodes and emails, uh, and I batched my content anytime I had the energy. So let's say I wake up one day and I've had a really good day and I've just gone out for a run and I had a big breakfast, and I recognize that I'm feeling really good.

That might be a day that I would take the time to do some extra. Writing and or scripting and or even sometimes recording because I know that that type of energy is what the listener deserves and it's not gonna come across the same if I'm doing it when I'm depleted or sad or whatever. So I got clear like, okay, if I'm having a good moment, if I'm having a really focused and energetically present moment, this is a chance for me too.

Be my most magnetic, and that's when I should be writing and recording. And so I re-wrote all that stuff and then I set up those automations so that those episodes are scheduled to go out. On time. Um, and I also closed down almost all of my previous online funnels that were attached to things like free PDFs or old trainings.

So if you have been with me for a while, you would know that, like I've been teaching some type of free tech training once a month for many years, and I love doing that because I find that it's a great way to meet people. Very low stakes. I don't have to do a big sales. Webinar. It's more just like I teach a little bit, I share, I connect.

If we vibe and you wanna talk more with me, you can grab a call and, and we take it from there. And it's a great way for me, who I love to teach, so it's a great way for me to, um, to meet new people and grow my mailing list. But those were often then set up as replay funnels where anybody could go and find those trainings and follow the, you know, the thread and watch the training and then get the series of emails.

I, those still require maintenance. Even if you have automations, if you've got like a whole bunch of funnels set up, you still have to check them. Things become outdated. Information, you know, needs to be refreshed and so. With this severely diminished capacity, I could not handle keeping up with all of that.

And so I had to shut down a lot of the doorways that led to my offers. And I wound up with just two very simple main funnels that lead to working with me, one of them being this podcast, which brings me back to the podcast. And then the rest, I had to let go of it all and then just trust that the work that I'd done is good, and the right people will find it.

And. A confession that I have to make is that there were many weeks that I would show up online, but only with the bright, shiny highlight moments. I am super guilty of doing that. It's, it's actually not that cool to do that. I think it's really important to be authentic, uh, and real with people, but, and it's not because I was trying to be fake.

It's because sometimes honestly sharing the really deep, hard stuff in real time felt impossible to me. Like I didn't, I don't wanna process the deep emotions I have around my mother's illness. On, you know, Instagram reels, like I just, some people can do that and, and more, you know, more power to you if that feels comfortable.

But for me it did not. And so I did what we all, I think do naturally, which is I curated and I polished and protected myself in the way that I felt. Was just the only way I knew how at the time, and so that's kind of why today I wanted to share this with you because the realness behind making consistent income as a solopreneur is that.

Recurring sales and consistent income are a product of consistent messaging, consistent visibility, and continuing to show up and sort of trudging through those difficult moments and still making contact and being present for your potential future clients. So it's not always that easy to do. It actually can be.

The hardest thing is just. Ha having presence when you feel that diminished capacity. And so maybe you have been nodding along, um, hearing some of this, because I know on some level you can relate to feeling exhausted to not having the spoons to show up that day. Um, but even if you're not there right now, you will be at some point because we all go through hard seasons of life when we do not feel like we can keep it all together when we do not feel like we can show up.

And present ourselves in our highest light. Right? It's just the way that life is so. Um, I just wanna recognize that challenge and acknowledge that it's been so hard for me this year. Um, but here we are, despite all the setbacks that happened for me personally. I'm, I'm recording episode 100 of this podcast that I started in the spring of 24.

I think I've only missed one or two weeks. Uh, and of course I've had a few weeks where I put out two episodes, but generally speaking, I've been consistent and that consistency has really paid off. And so I'm really proud of it and. You know, I just, I just think a lot of it has to do with giving ourselves grace, taking the break when you need it, allowing yourself to work through the messy middle of these types of experiences and say, you know what?

This isn't gonna be perfect. I'm gonna do it anyways because that's what I committed to. Um, and I think that's a big part of entrepreneurship is just saying it's not cute, it's not pretty, it's not perfect, but I did it. Let's go, let's move on. And before I go any further, I do wanna just take a moment to celebrate the 20 incredible women who were guests on this podcast this year, who joined me on this journey.

Um, uh. Each one of them brought their brilliance, their wisdom, and their unique voice to the show. And some taught us strategy. Others shared their soulful, you know, challenges. And all of them really truly reminded me that we are better together. I learned so much from each and every one of them. Um, I will do a little highlight reel in my Instagram stories on all of these amazing guests.

Um, so many that just, and many of whom have become good friends of mine because of that one episode where I, we connected and then we just stayed connected. It's been such a joy. Um, but if I had to pick one collective takeaway from the, the conversations that I had with these women is that there is no one path.

To walk as an entrepreneur, there's not a right way to do it. There is only the way that you choose and commit to. And each of these women who are guests this year, they really have forged their own pathway to. They're creative dreams, building businesses that earn them money, that help them buy houses and take vacations and be generous and give to charity and support other women.

And, um, you know, that theme kept showing up in every conversation that I had, which is just like, there is not a cookie cutter right way to do this. And that's been true for me as well. I really had to figure this out, uh, what is gonna work for me. And of course, I've taken. Bits and pieces of wisdom from, from mentors and from coaches and from people who went before me.

I've taken all the classes and watched all the trainings and webinars. And I love being a part of the system that, that, that pays that forward and trains and helps to educate other people who are just getting started. Um, it's really feels like an honor and a rite of passage to be edu you know, well enough experience now in this that I can create a podcast with never ending content because there is never an end to creativity and, and business opportunity.

So if you are an entrepreneur and you love. Building your own pathway to financial success and to doing good work in the world. Um, the great news, and that I feel really was concreted by conversations with my guests this year, is that if you're on your own path, you're on the right path because there's only one path for you, and it's the one that you choose and the one that you commit to and that you forge.

Um, so that's powerful and I commend you and I see you for doing that. So, okay then versus now. I started this podcast in the spring of 24. I was about three years late. Um, I was a student in an early round of Amy Porterfield's. Uh, digital Course Academy. I did that in the 2000, I think, and right outta the gate she was like, you have a great story.

You should start a podcast. Um, and she had, you know, obviously Amy is like the queen of digital courses and I built a bunch of courses using her format. I highly recommend her as a coach for that. But, um, I, I just was, I was struggling with an identity shift because I was pivoting from one. Type of focus with my coaching to a different one, and so I was.

I was shy to do a podcast, and, and it took me a couple of years to figure out what I would really, what I would really talk about. Um, honestly, I, I started just finally pushed myself off the cliff. I had a mic, I had a very vague plan that I wanted to speak to female solopreneurs about the real work behind running a business that actually makes you money, and especially if you're purpose driven and you care about the planet, and you care about your community.

And I had this hope that I would enjoy it enough to keep doing it. And I honestly didn't know if anybody would listen. I feared that people would, um, not take me seriously because they, I was very branded as a wellness. Entrepreneur. But you know, I had started the juice truck and I had people still every single day message me for smoothie and juice recipes.

Like, I'll never get that. I'll never be able to fully escape that, that brand, because I put in almost two decades of time running that business. But, um, the point is, I am now 100 episodes in, and this podcast has become a part of my business ecosystem. Uh, by design, right? So it's a tool. It's very much a tool for me to connect with people and they can hear my voice and, and learn a little bit from me and decide if they might want to work with me.

But it's also been a mirror for myself because each episode as I'm writing and scripting and drafting, I'm reflecting back on like, well, what did I learn? Well, what do I think about this? Like, how is this useful for somebody else? How can I turn this into a lesson? And it's been. Such a powerful tool to reflect upon in my own growth and develop my own voice.

So I am grateful to the people who gave me that, that, um, sort of permission slip early on and encouraged me to start this. And having, I think having a platform where you get to curate the content really allows you to share lessons, um, and your own personal reflection in real time. Um, but the biggest, most important takeaway of staying consistent and showing up for 100 episodes is that it connects me to you who is listening right now, and I know that whether or not you take a specific thing that I said and apply it directly to work you're doing as someplace and somewhere in the ether.

The energy of the stories that I'm sharing and the the lessons that I'm conveying are impacting somebody and that are gonna help you keep going in a moment when you feel. Like giving up, and I know that because I have listened to so many hundreds of thousands of podcast episodes by the ones who have gone before me and shared words of wisdom when I felt like giving up.

So I would not trade that for anything. I'm so happy and grateful for that exchange. And I am here for you, and I can not look, you know, I can't wait to continue curating the next 100 episodes. Um, so I, I think the key takeaway, honestly here is about building resilience in your work. For me, it's about this podcast at this moment, but you know, just in general, serving my clients, you can build something truly beautiful even when life is hard.

Even when you are tired, even when your heart is feeling super heavy, or your energy has totally drained, and systems that are streamlined and functioning can support you and you, your community and your family can hold you, and you don't have to show up perfectly. You just, you do have to keep showing up for your business to run, but it does not have to be perfect.

That often means slow seasons. It often means messy launches or imperfect posts, and it definitely means hitting publish when you don't feel very shiny. Um, because consistency doesn't have to mean hustle, right? That's, I think the point here is that it means staying in the game, even if you're at 60%, you're at 40%.

It's about giving yourself grace and trusting that your presence is enough in whatever form. And you know, there were many, many times when I was like, I cannot hit record on this podcast because I just don't have what it takes to be perfect. And then I had to remind myself, my audience is not looking for perfect.

They're looking for clear structured ideas that they can use to make progress in their business. If I can. Organize my thoughts and share that kind of content, then I can hit record period. I don't have to be, you know, beaming with joy every single time. Um, so, you know, this is just the work of entrepreneurship.

So. I do also have to give a big shout out and, and a deep heartfelt thank you to the incredible women who are my clients and who chose to work with me this year and trusted my experience and energy to help them build something that they're now sharing and selling to the world. Um, it's such an honor to be a part of somebody else's dream, and I do not take that lightly.

So, uh, I've learned so much by working with all of these women and frankly. You know, I know that many of you listen to this podcast, so thank you for also being listeners. Uh, but your weekly questions in our group sessions, in our one-on-one calls, those were clues to me about what type of content that I wanted to be talking about on this podcast because I knew that if you were going through it than many other people at your phase of business are also going through that.

And so thank you so much for being brave, being vulnerable. Light-filled, creative and soulful beings bringing such valuable and important work and offers into the world. Um, you are truly my motivation to always, always do my best, and I cannot thank you enough. Um, and if you're listening the, and you're nodding your head and you're thinking, yes.

This is me right now. I'm kind of in the messy middle. I feel overwhelmed a lot of the time. I, I don't feel like showing up and putting out shiny content and it's making it really hard for me to know what the next step is and what I should be doing. Um, just know that I hear you. I see you and many days I am you.

And even people who are way ahead of, you know, me and the game, like people who have been, you know, who are making millions of dollars and who are just, you know, years ahead of me, they have these days too. Like, we're just human beings, you know, out here doing our best. So it's really important that you stay in your own lane and realize.

That when you need help, you can ask for help. And when the time comes that someone needs help, you can offer help. And it's just part of the continuum of growing. Um, and if having accountability and guidance with how to shape and align your offer suite and the flow of your systems and setting up really smart, simple tech is something that you are craving.

Then I want to personally invite you to join the January cohort of foundations. This is a very good match for a solopreneur who is still kind of throwing spaghetti against the wall to see what's gonna stick. Um, I guide my clients inside that program to really hone in on. Unique, one of one bespoke offers that you can sell a lot easier because they stand out.

And then to build the messaging and the tech systems around those offers. So we polish the offer and make it really shine, and then we build around that and we test it, right? We're gonna not just, we're gonna validate and test things before we just go to the marketplace and try to sell it, because you can waste a lot of time if you're not, if you don't have proof that somebody would buy it.

So, um, please reach out to me. This is where we do a lot of the real behind the scenes work. Inside this program, we clarify things, we simplify things. We clean up the tech, we map out marketing messages. We truly lay the groundwork for seasons of sustainable income. And helping you avoid burnout, which is what being consistent is all about.

Right? Um, and just as importantly, we hold space for all the highs and lows. So, you know, every entrepreneur has a messy middle. Every entrepreneur has a beginning and a seasons of cycles, and we, you know, at some point in time, it helps to have accountability and guidance. So if that's you and you are seeking support from a coach, uh, guide and technical, uh, builder, that is who I am and I would love to support you and help you celebrate some wins in 2026.

Um, I. You know, it's, it's, it's hard to remember this sometimes, but you do not have to do this alone. You don't have to guess your way forward. And there's a seat for you inside my My Foundation's mastermind. So please check out the link. It's in the show notes, and right now if you decide to join.

Uh, these 100 episodes have shown me some really big things about myself, um, and as a business owner and a person.

And a creator, and as a daughter, and as a sister, and a wife, and a friend, and a business peer, which is that I'm not here to be perfect. We are not here to be perfect. None of us are. Um, I am here to be real and to help you keep it real by showing you that I'm keeping it real, to keep learning from each other and to, to keep showing up even when it's just really hard.

Um, and to keep making something that matters that can help others have a better, easier time at what they're up to. So, uh, thank you so much for being on this journey with me. Whether you're, you've been listening since day one, which I know some of you remarkably have listened to every episode, I'm so grateful.

Um, or if you just are listening today for the very first time, I'm still all so grateful to have you here. Thank you so much for joining me. And now it's time to take a deep breath. We made it this far and I'm gonna go have a glass of water and celebrate this wonderful milestone. And I will see you in episode 101.

And until then, my friend, may you be vibrant.
