#173: The Million-Dollar Goal That Broke Me Open
Description
At the start of the year, I told this podcast I’d hit my first One Million Dollar year. And here’s the reality: I did not make a million dollars this year. My business grew by 1.55%, and seeing that number forced me to confront the pressure, the ego, the stories and the expectations I’ve been carrying around money, success and self-worth.
In this episode, I break down the money shame no one talks about, the cost of chasing goals for validation, and why “half a million but happier” might be a far better life than the million I thought would finally make me feel safe. I share what shifted when I stopped letting Stripe define me, why dating highly successful men reframed my view of what a true provider actually is, how going viral for a controversial clip strengthened my resilience, and why I’m done setting income goals that disconnect me from the life I deserve to live, and the woman I deserve to be.
