Have you ever thought about quitting your business? Not just in a fleeting moment of frustration, but in a deep, overwhelming way—when the pressure feels unbearable?

Maybe it's the unexpected challenges piling up all at once. Maybe it's the clients who are unhappy but won't say why. Or maybe, it's the strangers online who seem to have an opinion about everything you do.

Our guest today, Dielle Charon, knows this feeling firsthand. She's built a 7-figure business, helped over 300 clients, and grown a podcast with over 150,000 downloads. But even at the height of her success, she's faced harsh criticism from people who don't even know her, difficult moments with clients, and personal challenges that made her question everything.

On this episode of EDIT HISTORY, Dielle shares how she's navigated these moments, built resilience, and continued to create a business that matters—not just for her bank account, but for the clients and community she serves. If you've ever felt like quitting, this conversation might be exactly what you need to hear.
