The Gen She Podcast

For six years straight, I failed at building my company. I tried everything under the sun—different business models, hiring teams, raising money, chasing trends. Every time, it fell apart. Sometimes I failed quietly, sometimes in ways that hurt to admit. At one point, I even gave investors their money back because I knew it wasn’t working.
But those six years weren’t wasted. Every wrong turn, every mistake, every late-night pivot taught me something I couldn’t have learned any other way. And when I finally pieced it all together, when I finally unlocked what actually makes a business work, I made half a million dollars in my first six months.
This is the breakdown of everything I did wrong, and the lessons I wish someone had told me sooner. If you’re serious about building a business, you can’t afford to miss this video.

In this video, I’m sharing 5 life-changing habits that transformed my mindset, productivity, and overall well-being. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unmotivated, these habits will give you the clarity and discipline to take control of your life and level up in every aspect—whether it’s career, relationships, or personal growth. Perfect for entrepreneurs, students, professionals, or anyone looking to break free from your limitations and build a stronger, more successful future!

Real talk: I probably wouldn’t have gone to college if I had really thought about what I wanted to do. Most of what actually got me paid, hired, and passionate had nothing to do with class. College used to work because it signaled credibility in a world where few people had one. But now? Everyone has a degree. In 2025, some of the world’s top companies—including Google and Apple—no longer require one for many high-paying roles. What actually sets you apart is what you’ve built, launched, or learned on your own.
And college doesn’t just delay that—it often blocks it. You lose four years you could’ve spent gaining real experience and take on debt for it. This episode breaks it all down. (And yeah—if you’re trying to be a doctor or lawyer, that’s different. But most people aren’t.)
I’m not telling you not to go to college—I’m just saying, be intentional. No one should commit to six figures of debt and four years of their life without seriously reflecting on what they want and where the world is heading.
And if by the end of the episode you still think college is the right path? Perfect. My job’s done. You’re making a big decision with clarity—and that’s what matters.

The other 75%? I was in my “off” era. Traveling, resting, living.
In this episode, I’m revealing the 6 transformative strategies I use during my “on” era that make that kind of output possible. These are the exact systems, mindset shifts, and productivity hacks that let me sprint toward success in a fraction of the time, without burning out.
If you feel like you’re working constantly but still not seeing the results you want, this is your turning point. Listen now, or keep wondering why everyone seems to keep lapping you with less effort.
