Today’s guest is someone who shaped the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey—Marie Forleo. Sitting across from her in New York City felt like a full-circle, pinch-me moment.
In this raw, inspiring conversation, Marie and I dive into the realities of building a dream life and business. Spoiler: it’s not just about strategy—it’s about clarity, resilience, and a whole lot of heart.
We talk about:
✨ Why “clarity comes from engagement, not thought” (and what that means for your next big move)
✨ How to tell if you're chasing YOUR dream—or someone else’s
✨ Marie’s favorite money mantra (and why women especially need to embrace it)
✨ What most entrepreneurs get wrong about defining their audience
✨ How Marie handles self-doubt, setbacks, and getting “stuck” (spoiler: even after 20+ years in biz, it still happens)
Marie also shares a personal story about chasing a jewelry collaboration—and the real ROI it taught her. Trust me, it’s a game-changer. 🥹
Whether you're feeling stuck, questioning your next step, or dreaming bigger than ever, this episode is the warm hug and loving kick-in-the-pants you didn’t know you needed.
👉 Stick around 'til the end where Marie drops her mic with 3 powerful mantras to transform your relationship with money and success.
