Six Months Later: What We Got Right (and Totally Wrong) in Business and Life
What actually happens when you set big intentions and circle back six months later? In this episode of Swearing By It, Sydney and Audrina pull back the curtain on the messy reality of entrepreneurship and work-life balance, what stuck, what fell apart, and the surprises they never saw coming.
Revisiting the same three questions they asked themselves half a year ago—what do you want to change, what do you want to start, and what do you want to stop ignoring, Sydney and Audrina share the raw truth of what actually unfolded. From business pivots to personal curveballs, this conversation is part behind-the-scenes catch-up, part roadmap for anyone trying to track their own growth in real time. Expect honesty, a few cringe-worthy confessions, and takeaways that prove progress is never as clean as you imagine.
In This Conversation, You’ll Hear:
- What changes actually stuck - and what didn’t - over the past six months
- Why time feels even messier in the thick of entrepreneurship
- The habits and commitments that fueled growth (and the ones that flopped)
- How revisiting the same questions can help you measure progress
- Lessons from both business and life that show growth is rarely linear
