Be a Good Girl and Don't Make Waves!

🎧 Episode Summary:
In this episode of The Solo Grind, I’m getting real about what it means to be a woman in business—especially for those of us who grew up being told to follow the rules, stay in line, and not make waves. Spoiler alert: The hell I won’t.

I’m reflecting on my journey as a solo entrepreneur, the unique challenges we face, and the ridiculous limitations society tries to place on us. We’re talking about the power of showing up as your full, unapologetic self, celebrating how far you’ve come, and proving the naysayers wrong—without waiting for permission.

So grab your coffee and let’s talk about why playing small was never an optio

What I hope you get from this episode...
☕ Permission to take up space. You don’t have to be quieter, smaller, or less ambitious to make others comfortable. Own your success. 

☕ A reminder that you’re not alone. If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t quite fit the mold, welcome to the club—you’re in good company.

☕ The courage to break the “good girl” rules. You don’t have to follow the path others laid out for you. Create your own.

☕ The push to celebrate your wins. You’ve worked hard to get where you are—don’t downplay your success or wait for someone else to acknowledge it.

☕ The confidence to do business your way. You don’t have to run things the way others expect. Build a business (and life) that makes you excited to wake up in the morning.
