The Unspoken Struggles of My Entrepreneur Journey: A Love Letter to the Grind


My entrepreneurial journey hasn’t been for the faint of heart. It’s messy, raw, and full of contradictions. One day, I’m soaring with wins; the next, I’m questioning my very worth. If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough or that the weight of it all is too much—you’re not alone. Let me tell you about it.

The Weight of Worthlessness There are days when I wonder if I’m truly cut out for this life. No matter how much I accomplish, it feels like a drop in the bucket of what should be done. The unchecked boxes on my to-do list taunt me, and I can’t help but ask myself: Am I doing enough? Am I good enough? Most days, it doesn’t feel like I am.

The Time and Energy Tug-of-WarThe clock always wins. There’s never enough time for everything or everyone, and truthfully, there’s barely enough energy to even want to try some days. Balancing the hustle with the rest of life feels like an impossible equation—one that never quite adds up.

The Heartbreak of Relationships One of the hardest parts of this journey has been the connections I’ve built along the way. I pour my heart into relationships with clients and colleagues, forming bonds that sometimes feel more personal than professional. So when those relationships end, it’s not just business—it feels like a breakup. And just like any heartbreak, it leaves a mark.

Living Client-to-Client I’m still living client-to-client, and that reality stings sometimes. There’s this pressure to constantly secure the next deal, to keep the pipeline full so I can keep the dream alive. It’s exhausting, and yet, I keep pushing forward.



A Heart Full of Thanks

Despite it all—the exhaustion, the self-doubt, the heartbreak—I’m still here. Still dreaming, still building, still wanting more. And for that, I’m so thankful.

Thankful that I get to reflect on this journey, to see how far I’ve come, even when it doesn’t always feel like enough. Thankful for the lessons learned, the clients who’ve trusted me, and the resilience I didn’t know I had.

This life isn’t perfect, and it certainly isn’t easy. But it’s mine, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful. Here’s to showing up, even on the hardest days, and knowing deep down: I’m not done yet.
