In this episode, I dive deep into one of the toughest challenges every solopreneur faces: overcoming the fear of rejection in sales. I unpack the six mindset shifts and tactical steps that have truly helped me transform every "no" into valuable feedback and greater confidence.

In this episode, I get real about why my financial mindset used to sabotage my sales and how I changed it. I share personal stories of fear and financial stress, how those anxieties bled into client conversations, and the turning point that let me sell with calm clarity. You'll hear actionable strategies for separating your financial reality from your selling energy, helping you show up confidently and attract the right business, not just chase it out of desperation.

Here’s the thing: nobody warns you how weird—and sometimes downright cringey—it feels when you try to sell your own services for the first time. If you’ve ever wondered why asking for business is so much harder when you’re the product, you’re not alone. In this episode, I open up about my own early sales stumbles, breakout moments, and the wild learning curve faced by solopreneurs who never planned on “selling themselves.”

We dig into the three real reasons selling yourself feels so awkward: the “ick factor” (not wanting to sound salesy), the looming fear of rejection (because a “no” can feel oddly personal), and the chaos of having no actual process (hello, winging it). I share stories, hard-won lessons, and tactical prompts so you can start untangling your own story about sales—and maybe start to enjoy it. Trust me: you can learn to sell without feeling gross, and the result is more confidence…and more clients you love working with. What’s your story about selling yourself—and is it actually true? Maybe we should talk about it.
