Bread & Wine: The Emotional Roller Coaster of Starting a Business

Marriage Kids and Money: Personal Finance for Families

Show Notes

Nicole left her corporate career six weeks ago to launch her own skincare studio.

So... was it the right decision?

In this Bread & Wine conversation, we pour a glass, get honest about the emotional highs and lows of entrepreneurship, and share what it's really like when the excitement of starting a business gives way to self-doubt, marketing struggles, and sleepless nights.

We talk about:

Why Nicole finally decided to leave her job after years of thinking about it

The surprising challenges of running your own business

How social media can hurt confidence more than it helps

Why promotion is often harder than creating a great product

What it's like to support your spouse through a major career transition

Why starting a business feels a lot like becoming a parent

Whether you're dreaming about starting a business, considering a career change, or simply navigating a season of uncertainty, we hope this conversation reminds you that you're not alone.

Thanks for joining us for another Bread & Wine. Cheers! 🍷
