Babe, 2024 was a wild ride—and I’m not holding back. In this episode of **Badass + Bulletproof**, I’m getting real about the biggest mistakes I made this year, the lessons they taught me, and how I’m stepping into 2025 with more clarity, boundaries, and confidence than ever.
From taking on work that drained me, to ignoring my gut (big mistake), to finally letting go of offers that no longer served me—I'm sharing it all so you can avoid the same pitfalls and step into your CEO power *sooner.*
**Inside this episode, I dive into:**
💥 Why taking a 3-month contract job nearly broke me mentally.
💥 The dangers of overgiving and how it almost led to burnout.
💥 What happens when you ignore your intuition and say "yes" when you should say "HELL NO."
💥 Staying in your genius zone and why doing *everything* isn't the flex you think it is.
💥 The relief that comes when you finally let go of what’s not working.
If you've ever felt like you're holding on too tight, saying yes too much, or struggling to trust your gut—this one’s for you.
Ready to level up and learn from my mistakes* Hit play and let’s get into it.
