 🎧 Episode Summary:

We often think of legacy as something people talk about after we're gone—like it’s only visible in the rearview mirror. But what if your legacy isn’t about the grand finale? What if it’s being shaped every single day by how you show up, how you treat people, and the values you live out?

In this episode, I’m talking about the real impact you’re making as a solo entrepreneur—whether you realize it or not. Inspired by a recent episode of Content with Character by Emily Aborn, I reflect on what legacy actually means, how we’re building it in the small moments, and why it doesn’t have to be perfect to matter.

Your legacy isn't just about what you’ll leave behind. It’s about what you’re doing while you’re here.

What I hope you take away from this episode: 

☕ Why legacy isn’t a “later” thing—it’s happening now
☕ What small moments have to do with your long-term impact
☕ A simple mindset shift to live more intentionally (without the pressure)
☕ A quick reflection exercise to help you live your values this week.
