The Challenges & Lessons Of Growing A Business Solo With Darcy Tucker

If you’ve ever felt the weight of doing all the things in your business alone—this episode will hit home.

I sat down with Darcy from Darcy Louise Beauty, a talented makeup artist and hairstylist who left the pharmacy world behind to pursue her passion full-time. From a small country town to building a thriving solo business, Darcy shares what it really takes to grow without a team behind you.

Together, we unpack the often-unspoken struggles of solopreneurship—like burnout, admin overload, and the pressure to wear all the hats, to be everything to everyone. But it’s not all heavy. Darcy also shares the game-changing shifts that helped her reclaim her time, her energy, and her confidence.

You’ll hear:

  • The early signs of burnout (and what Darcy did to pull herself back)
  • Why setting boundaries became her #1 business tool
  • How she simplified her bookings and scaled her services with smart systems
  • What finally gave her the courage to raise her prices
  • Why trusting yourself is the most underrated strategy in business

Whether you’re just starting out or deep into your solo journey, this episode is packed with practical takeaways and gentle reminders that you don’t have to do it all alone.

✨ Hit play to learn how to build a business that supports you—not the other way around.
