In this episode, Naoma and Kelsie dive into the real stuff: the mental hurdles that come with starting, running, and growing a business.

From facing rejection and dealing with feedback to unraveling money mindsets and navigating identity crises, they get honest about what it takes to keep going—especially when the biggest obstacle is your own brain. Packed with personal stories, spirals, and business breakthroughs, this episode is a must-listen for any entrepreneur who’s ever doubted themselves (aka, all of us).

Takeaways:

• Feedback isn’t always useful, but asking better questions helps make it actionable.

• Money mindset issues run deep—especially if you grew up with scarcity.

• Avoiding finances doesn’t make them go away. Systems do.

• Business reinvention requires shedding old identities and stepping into new ones

• Confidence doesn't come first—clarity and action do.

• Strategy isn’t optional; it’s the foundation for sustainable growth.

• Slowing down for refinement can feel terrifying but is necessary.

• Entrepreneurship will force you to deal with your past, your patterns, and your self-worth.

• Support systems (and business besties) are everything.
