If you're a mom entrepreneur trying to grow your online business in 2026, this episode covers the exact things I wish someone had told me sooner, from the trust recession in online sales to why "fake it till you make it" is holding you back.
LET'S CHAT ABOUT:

→ Why the trust funnel is the foundation of every offer, and how to build one from freebie to low-ticket to high-ticket

→ How many touch points you actually need before someone buys in 2026 (it's a lot more than you think)

→ Why psychotic confidence beats "fake it till you make it," and how to build real audacity

→ The marathon mentality that separates the mom entrepreneurs who succeed from the ones who quit
Take the quiz I mentioned to find out your mom entrepreneur type, your superpower, and your blind spot:
