In this solo episode, I unpack what the last four years of building the vision for Enough Labs has felt like in planting the seeds for the vision. Most of the time, it felt like I had to reconcile with being uncomfortable with a lot of people telling me, "I just don't get it." Wanting so badly to marry the two loves of global women's empowerment work with coaching, I kept plugging away at wanting to curate spaces for honest, authentic conversations around confidence and leadership.
Fast forward to today, where I share with you what the last week has felt leading a training where I led conversations on emotional intelligence, confidence, leadership and gender norms - all conversations I LOVE. And what I share what it felt like when I realized that the hypothesis I had four years ago is really beginning to take shape. The belief: that women and girls GLOBALLY are facing similar challenges around confidence, and it's starting at an early age.
My hope is that after listening to this conversation, you take away that sometimes, when you're a disrupter, many people won't get what you're trying to build. In fact, it may take a while for people to get it.
And that's ok.
You don't have control over how long it will take for the seeds of disruption to take shape; but you do have control over whether you answer the call and block out the noise telling you that you can't or shouldn't.

97. Peeling Back the Layers of What it "REALLY" has Looked Like to be a Disrupter
In this final episode of Season 4, I go in and peel back the layers on what it has really felt like to be a disrupter this year. I let you into the not-so-glamorous parts of full-time entrepreneurship, navigating my own interpretations of success and failure, and giving myself grace for charting my own path in a way I never have before. In this episode, I hope you walk away feeling both inspired and empowered to get messy in 2024 and to more importantly celebrate the effort that you put into the things you want. Because in the end, that is what matters way more than the GOAL itself.
This is a vulnerable episode for me - but I only thought it fair to give you a peek inside of the sometimes dark underbelly of being a disrupter - and while still in the midst of the lows, it's all still beautiful.
