🔑 Episode Summary
In this episode, I’m opening up about the $44,000 I’ve invested in myself and my business since launching my brand. I walk you through what I spent money on, why I did it, and how every scary investment ended up shaping the business I run today.
From branding and websites, to mindset work, nervous system coaching, marketing education, and leadership masterminds—this is the real behind-the-scenes of what it’s taken for me to sustain a six-figure creative business.
I share the truth of what it felt like to swipe my card with trembling hands, what I learned about making money back from investments, and why mentorship has been one of the most important foundations in my journey.
📌 You’ll hear me talk about:
- The very first $3,000 I invested when I hadn’t made a dollar in my business yet
- Why mentorship has been non-negotiable in sustaining success
- How branding, marketing, and mindset investments completely changed my business trajectory
- What I learned about simplicity in my offers and raising my prices
- The nervous system tools that keep me grounded as I grow
- Why I believe your visuals are directly tied to your reputation and leadership
