Hello, fabulous human! Welcome back to the Empowered Entrepreneur Podcast.

Today I have an amazing guest episode for you with the one and only, Ola Kowalska.

She is meant to be a ‘competitor’ as we are in very similar niches, but she is far from that and has become a great business buddy of mine.

We have great conversations and so I thought I would take you behind the scenes into one of our conversations on the trials, tribulations, and lessons of running an online business.

This episode is DEEP, funny, and very REAL. So, if you are feeling all the feels in your business and want some real, authentic content to relate to… this is the episode for you.

In this episode, we dive into:

  • How shifting from teacher to online business owner is a journey and that journey is not linear (and is hard).

  • Why we are so fixated on doing things perfectly and having a perfect launch and how that is not the reality of business and life.

  • How our toughest situations in business are often rites of passage and just part of the journey.

  • How business is one of the greatest personal development and healing journeys of all time.

If you think that other business owners have it ‘all figured out’ and that the perfect Instagram feed is reality… then this is an episode I invite you to listen to. Time to stop shaming yourself for experiencing REAL hardship and feels in your business.
