I share my own experience navigating years of working alone and what I’ve learned about creating connection on purpose. From building local networks and micro-interactions to using movement, community, and even AI as a thinking partner, I walk through practical ways to stay energized, visible, and emotionally supported. Because being a solopreneur doesn’t mean being isolated. With a few intentional shifts, you can design a business and a life that feel connected, human, and deeply fulfilling.

When you leave corporate or step out on your own, something subtle but heavy shows up fast: you lose the identity that once defined you. You’re no longer “the director at X company” or “the marketing lead at Y.” You’re just you. For many solopreneurs, that blank space creates fear, second-guessing, and what people casually call imposter syndrome. In this episode of My Solopreneur Life, I unpack why that discomfort isn’t a flaw; it’s an invitation to stop borrowing credibility from old job titles and start building a brand that is fully, unapologetically yours.

In this episode of My Solopreneur Life, I explore a pattern many solopreneurs fall into without realizing it: overdelivering as a form of self-protection. Drawing from early experiences after a corporate layoff and the emotional weight that shaped those years, this conversation looks at how low confidence, unclear boundaries, and fear of losing work can quietly distort how we show up for clients.

I explore why authenticity matters more than ever in an AI-driven business landscape. As solopreneurs adopt AI tools to save time and streamline marketing, it’s easy to create polished content that looks impressive but overpromises the real client experience. That growing gap between presentation and reality quietly erodes trust.

As a solopreneur, you aren’t just the CEO—you are the infrastructure of your business. But what happens when life hits hard and your personal reality feels like it’s taking your knees out? In this vulnerable episode, I talk about the "hidden reality" of running a business through grief, loss, and trauma. Drawing on my pivotal experience of losing my husband and corporate job within the same season, I offers five practical prompts to help you maintain your "Minimum Viable A-Game" while giving yourself the grace to heal.

In this episode of My Solopreneur Life, I talk openly about the quiet fears and internal stories that surface when you’re thinking about going out on your own, whether you’re still employed or navigating a recent layoff.

In the first episode of season 4, I introduce the theme of the hidden realities of managing a solopreneur life by naming the unspoken internal experiences many solopreneurs carry alone. This episode isn’t about tactics, hustle, or highlight reels, but about the mental and emotional load, the self-doubt, and the quiet questioning that can surface even when things appear to be going well. I share why this season matters right now, what I hope it gives you as a listener, and how simply putting language to these experiences can steady you and make the path feel more sustainable. This season is about real talk, orientation, and permission, reminding you that you’re not broken, not behind, and definitely not alone.

Season 3 is a wrap, and the biggest takeaway is this: most sales struggles aren’t about tactics, they’re about belief systems. The stories we carry about selling (not wanting to feel pitchy, desperate, or inauthentic) often block the success we want. In this finale, I share what I learned from the season, point you to key guest conversations worth revisiting, and land on the simplest truth I know about progress: execution trumps everything. I also tease what’s next, where we’ll go deeper into the things solopreneurs rarely talk about, including fear, self-trust, and the difference between passion-led work and work driven by real skills, so you can move out of overthinking and into a solopreneur life that actually fits you.

Wrapping up the "turning fears into clients" season with five tactical AI conversations every solopreneur should be having but probably isn't. Learn how to use AI as your thinking partner (not a robot) to clear mindset blocks, identify ideal prospects, research without stalking, process calls faster, and refine follow-ups that sound authentically you. No technical skills required, just prompts you can use today to do relationship-first sales better and faster.

Sales conversations feel gross when you're trying to follow a script or sound “professional.” But here's the thing: your prospects can smell inauthenticity from a mile away. In this episode, I'm sharing six practical ways to show up as yourself during sales calls, from sharing honest struggles to ditching corporate jargon.

I walk you through exactly how I tweaked my booking process, rewrote my website copy, and made sure every sales conversation had a simple, supportive plan behind it, so prospects feel informed and ready to work with me before we ever meet. The result? Less confusion, less time wasted, and many more clients reaching out saying, “I’m ready! What’s next?”

In this episode, I have a very thoughtful conversation with my longtime friend and client Naveed Bhatti, who brings deep experience in sales and leadership coaching. We talk about what really happens when you leave corporate life, where the company’s name and sales team did the heavy lifting, and suddenly have to sell yourself.

Naveed shares how to shift from borrowing credibility from a company brand to owning your expertise as a solopreneur. We explore what genuine confidence looks like in a client conversation, why most people overthink selling, and how to replace “sales scripts” with curiosity and authentic dialogue.

I'll give you three scenarios every introvert faces in sales, plus the mindset shifts and practical steps that can make all the difference.
