Ep 6: The Business That Failed (And Why I’m Grateful It Did)

Send us Fan Mail There’s a part of my business journey that I’ve basically kept locked in a closet for the last few years. I’ve carried a lot of shame around the fact that it didn’t work. A few years ago, I became a certified life coach and started signing my first clients. Things were actually moving faster than I expected -and as people in my life coaching program saw me signing clients, they started coming to me asking, “Wait…how are you doing this?” And because people were asking me for help with it, I thought, Oh shit. Maybe there’s something here. So I followed it. I started helping new coaches with their businesses. I hosted niching workshops. I created the Side Coaching Biz Academy. I invested a LOT of money into mentorship. And I went all in on a direction that, ultimately, never got off the ground. For a long time, I looked at that season as a massive failure. And now, four years later, as I step into a new chapter of my business and deeper into mentorship again, I’ve had to look directly at the story I’ve been carrying about that version of me. Because the truth is…I’m actually really grateful it happened. I had to get into the arena. I had to try shit on. I had to experience building a business that wasn’t actually true to me to learn how to build one that was. In this episode, I’m bringing that season out of the closet and talking about what actually happened, what Human Design helped me understand about the way I was operating at the time, and why I’m no longer letting something that “failed” four years ago determine what I’m willing to create now. Because sometimes you have to fuck around and find out. You have to try the thing. You have to get it “wrong.” You have to collect the data and figure out what actually works for YOU. There are no errors. It’s all data. And maybe the thing you’ve been calling a failure was actually part of how you got here.
