36 | You Don’t Have to Sacrifice Yourself to Be Successful: Lessons from Building a Business with Marissa Danekas

In this episode, I sit down with my friend Marissa Danekas, owner of Wilder & Co Salon. We talk about her journey of starting something from scratch, burning out, making mistakes, and learning along the way. Marissa shares how she decided she was done working for someone else and what it actually looked like to build a business without having it all figured out.We talk about the mistakes she’s made that led to burnout, what work–life balance has really looked like in different seasons, and how learning to trust herself has shaped the way she runs her business. We also talk about looking silly, taking risks before you feel ready, and how the simple act of being herself ended up landing her first client.This episode is an honest conversation about entrepreneurship, self-trust, and letting go of the idea that success has to come at the expense of your health or your life. If you’ve ever thought about starting something, changing directions, or building a business in a way that actually feels sustainable, this one’s for you.Stay bold, stay balanced, I'll see you next week.Show notes:🌊 Ready to join In Sync?
