Description

Do you remember the moment you realised you were never going to work for someone else again? That powerful, spine-tingling moment when you knew you were done with the corporate world for good? In this episode, I’m sharing my own journey — from selling pom poms to the neighbours as a child, to walking out of my last job and starting my business from scratch.



I take you through the early signs that I was destined to work for myself (even if I didn’t know it at the time), the jobs that nurtured my independence, and the ones that drained the life out of me. You’ll hear why autonomy was the non-negotiable that shaped my decision, how I built a business with nothing but determination, and why I believe some of us are simply wired to create our own path.



If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit into someone else’s system, or you’ve had that itch to do things your own way, this episode will remind you that you’re not broken — you’re a business owner at heart. And if you’re still finding your version of “pom poms”, that’s okay. You can shape and reshape your business until it feels exactly right for you.



✨ You were always meant to work for yourself — it was never an accident, it was always who you were.
