• 006: The Biggest Mistakes We See New Entrepreneurs Make (and How to Avoid Them)
    Nov 5 2025

    Running a business doesn’t have to mean constant hustle, overwhelm, or insecurity.

    In this episode, we’re sharing the biggest mistakes we’ve seen women make at every stage, including a few we’ve learned the hard way - things that waste time, drain energy, or pull us away from what really matters.

    We’ll talk about how to work with focus, build healthy rhythms, and create a business that fits your real life.

    We’ll cover:

    • Trying to sell before you’ve built a real community
    • Building your life around your business instead of the other way around
    • Copying what works for someone else instead of finding what fits you
    • Believing God will “just make it happen” instead of learning a real strategy
    • Forgetting that your capacity changes with your season

    Oct 8 2025

    Business doesn’t have to feel like a mystery. There are three simple building blocks every entrepreneur needs to embrace: content, community, and conversion.

    Each works together to grow your business, and if one is missing, you’ll stall.

    We’ll cover:

    • Why most women focus too much on one “C” and get stuck
    • What content actually needs to do (hint: not perfection)
    • How community builds trust and loyalty beyond algorithms
    • Why conversion isn’t sleazy ( it’s serving people well)
