The "Becoming HER" Podcast

This week’s lesson is simple: you cannot build fifteen things at once and expect any of them to work. In Issue 008, I’m talking honestly about what building online has actually looked like for me so far—zero dollars, too many open tabs, hating content, changing direction, and realizing that more ideas are not the answer.

Issue 002 is is about reclaiming yourself, building something that feels like yours, and remembering t...
