Welcome to Ladies Kicking Ass, the no B.S. podcast for fierce, unstoppable women in the service industry. We're here to talk bold moves, big wins, and real talk on what it takes to build a life and a business you love. Let's get fired up.
00:00:17:10 - 00:00:32:28
Unknown
Hey, badasses. Welcome back to the podcast. Today we're going to have a fun Just Girls chat. I have my business bestie partner in crime. I don't know, we just get together and, hold each other accountable all the week and we want to share that with you.
00:00:32:28 - 00:00:55:14
Unknown
So I want to introduce you to my awesome friend Nicole Burbank. And she is going to have a great conversation today with me for you to talk about how important it is to have girlfriends in your life, and how important it is to have girlfriends that do business like you're trying to do in your life. Because we all know that those can be different kinds of conversation.
00:00:55:14 - 00:01:25:16
Unknown
So, Nicole, take it away. Yes. First off, thank you for having me. Yes. Love you to pieces. I'm Nicole Burbank. I am a performer and coach. I basically take you from overwhelm to is self neglect to self prioritization. And from chaos to calm and easy practical and scalable ways. Because in business or in personal, we have to have efficiency and we have to have calm and joy and purpose and like, want to love life.
00:01:25:16 - 00:01:44:09
Unknown
And that's what I try to do and impact in the people I work with. Yes. And she's so good at doing that for me. I truly wanted to have this conversation with you because we have so many good conversations off the mic that I was like, this is stupid. We need to record just an actual conversation with each other.
00:01:44:09 - 00:02:07:00
Unknown
So I know it's weird because we have mics in front of us right now. But it's no different than what we usually talk about. So one of the first things I wanted to kind of bring up just as a topic is how important have you found the friendship and relationship that you and I share along with your other business friends, in helping you build your business the way that you want to?
00:02:07:00 - 00:02:39:13
Unknown
I know you're a performance coach and you're always trying to be super efficient, but you also are really fucking good at taking care of yourself, which is something I super admire. So talk to me about all that good stuff. Having women in your corner is literally everything. I lean on you. I lean on my other gal pals so much and as efficient and as structured like I'm that is my zone of genius is being really organized, really practical, seeing systems.
00:02:39:16 - 00:03:03:26
Unknown
But I have hard things that I'm afraid of to lean into or, you know, I don't want to take this risk. Or maybe I'm just having a hard personal day and having someone I can call that understands the shitshow of entrepreneurship and just I can be like, Tanya, I'm freaking out, or I don't want to go and you're like, no, put on your heels.
00:03:03:26 - 00:03:28:24
Unknown
Get out there. Go! It's everything it it and it truly has. Like, I'm a data girl. Like data is my jam. It has tremendously brought my ROI on my personal health, but also my business revenue has grown exponentially by having really amazing, authentic women in my corner. Yes, it's huge because you need to be able to have that downtime.
00:03:28:24 - 00:03:56:14
Unknown
We schedule a time every week that we get together for two hours. Sometimes we watch marketing training, sometimes we just get together and literally hold each other up because shit's falling apart. Even in personal areas. And it's something I look forward to every single week. Even if we end up missing it, we find something else that we end up going to, and I enjoy that so very much because sometimes, you know, you get so busy in your business that you're actually you find yourself.
00:03:56:14 - 00:04:18:08
Unknown
I do anyways, like saying shit that I probably shouldn't say to my employees. And I'm like, I need clinical, I need, I need to step away from here because you really need to have a release somewhere with somebody about something. And that's where I think it's super important. Also, you know, like we're busy, we're moms, we're working on building businesses.
00:04:18:10 - 00:04:40:11
Unknown
And it's so important to me that I invest in friendships with women that are also doing those same things. I have great friends that aren't building a business, and there is a time and place for that as well. But I spend so much more time with people that I'm doing life with and my life is my business. It is.
00:04:40:11 - 00:05:08:10
Unknown
It's my self. It's my kids. We talk about moms stuff. We talk about boys sometimes, whatever. We need to get off our chest. We are there to support and we know it's a safe space to be able to do that. So I think it's just really important that everybody kind of leans into that. If you don't have that person, I would challenge you to try to find it because it does just increase everything I know.
00:05:08:10 - 00:05:36:26
Unknown
For me, whenever you send me a text message, just like an encouraging one, like this morning, I'm not going to cry. It was so well placed that I needed that so bad this morning. And you need friends in your life that do that for you. Yeah. And I think to like, you need to have people. It has taken me so long to learn this, but you need to have people that you can truly just share your shit with.
00:05:36:26 - 00:05:58:29
Unknown
Like, we're all going through stuff and we all have these, like, negative thoughts or like fears or whatever. They are. Like, you're not alone. Like, I think that's what's so great about our friendship is like, I truly feel so seen by you as you always just hold me where I am and you leave it there. Lift me up or just let me lean on you, you know?
00:05:59:01 - 00:06:20:19
Unknown
And it's so important to have authentic friendships that you can just share the yak with. Yeah, and it's scary too, because you don't always get like, it's not always received well, at least in the past. And that's why I've always been scared to be so vulnerable. And, you know, my level of growth has just changed so much that I just share all my raw now.
00:06:20:24 - 00:06:39:00
Unknown
And that's a growth level that I had to achieve. But I'm so grateful and I think that's because I have women in my corner that I can be authentic and vulnerable and like literally tell them the, the, the crazy thoughts I have in my head just saying it out loud, bringing it to light makes it shrink so much.
00:06:39:00 - 00:06:57:24
Unknown
Yeah, you don't just sit and stew on stuff. Yeah, you know, you don't have to carry all of the business burden that we think we need to. By yourself. Many times I think we just apply that shit ourselves. And then you look back and you're like, that wasn't my burden to carry in the first place, you know? Yeah.
00:06:57:24 - 00:07:21:23
Unknown
So that's it's just crazy what a good friendship can do. It really can be. So let's talk about where women would find somebody like this. I think our encounter of actually meeting was totally random. So random. A mutual friend of ours had invited me to come to a marketing. It was like a marketing. What was it like?
00:07:21:23 - 00:07:41:12
Unknown
Just like an evening night. Something they were talking about marketing stuff. And actually, the agenda was kind of like, well, I already know this stuff, but I really wanted to see the studio place where they were having all of this because I was like, that place is in the fucking ghetto. Yeah. Like I was scared to go because that's down by one of my partner houses.
00:07:41:12 - 00:07:58:26
Unknown
And I was like, there is no podcast studio over there. There is no anything over there that you should be a part of. Yeah. And even when I parked my Bronco that night, I had the top off and I was like, do I dare leave this here? I don't know, but it was such a great meeting. It was an excellent.
00:07:58:26 - 00:08:18:09
Unknown
Just what they had put together for the program was incredible. The two girls that spoke, those influencers were actually like my daughter freaked out. Oh, she knew them. She knew them. Oh no, I sent her. She would watch videos of them on TikTok because she's like, mom, these girls go to our nail salon and she's like, someday I'm going to see them there.
00:08:18:09 - 00:08:35:15
Unknown
So I recognized her face and I sent her a video and she freaked out. So after it was over, I went up and talked to them and I was like, my daughter loves you so much. And they're like, can we make a video for her? And so they made a video for and it was just like the coolest thing ever.
00:08:35:19 - 00:08:59:02
Unknown
So mom went there. But then also just the group of women that was there that were all so very different in our industries. So very different. There's beauty photography. Yeah. What you do with nutritional coaching at that point is what you were doing. And skeptic. Yeah. So don't ever discredit the people that you meet thinking, oh there's nothing there for me.
00:08:59:02 - 00:09:22:14
Unknown
Because having that difference that we have I think is really, really important. How do you feel about that? Yeah, no, I agree I think diversifying things is always really, really good and like go to the things because what's really interesting about that event was I was I had just moved I think I had just moved to Gilbert.
00:09:22:17 - 00:09:48:14
Unknown
And I had been praying you guys like for a year for community, for people that I could just be truly myself around. And here I am new to Gilbert. I didn't even know a soul you guys and my friend invites me to this thing. I go, I meet Tanya and she's in Gilbert and I'm like, okay, well, shoot, I should at least try to connect with her.
00:09:48:17 - 00:10:08:26
Unknown
At least I'll know somebody. And the best gift God ever gave me, right? So like, my big thing now I tell myself is go. I'm like such an am revert. So like, there are times when I just want to go under a rock. Most of the time. And so I just forced myself to go because I'm like, who knows who's going to be in that room?
00:10:09:03 - 00:10:32:09
Unknown
And that was such a random random act that we went to. And this friendship is truly, like, blessed my life tenfold. So taking the steps to just be out in public, talk to people. I talk to people like I went and hike Camelback. I'm talking to everybody. I'm like, have a blessed day, blah blah blah blah blah. Like, and I talked to this guy twice and he was such a cool guy.
00:10:32:09 - 00:10:59:05
Unknown
He lives in Chandler. We were like, oh, we're going to have to hike together. And like, you just never know who you're going to meet if you're just open to it. Yeah. So be open and put yourself out there. Yes. Oh my gosh. And talk about what you know, what are you looking for. You know I think that's been really cool about our friendship is that we kind of set it up at the beginning of like, hey, like this is what I'm looking for.
00:10:59:05 - 00:11:22:16
Unknown
We talked about what our struggles were. We made some connections with that stuff. And then obviously you build trust and a relationship there where you feel like you can be vulnerable with somebody and it's not going somewhere. I know for me, in the past, I've been really focused on female friendships that much as a single mom for a long time, I was building a business, you know, with that.
00:11:22:16 - 00:11:49:24
Unknown
And I was like, you know, the people that I work for are my friends or work with me are my friends cause I see them all the time. So I just didn't invest a lot of time in that. And our friendship really is that catalyst for me. That was like, Holy shit, you need more girlfriends. And the more I've really made it and intention of going somewhere every single week and even being by myself when I walk in that room, I don't know anybody else.
00:11:49:24 - 00:12:14:14
Unknown
I have to go talk to somebody. So just the different people that we've been able to meet, Amy has been an incredible connection. Yeah. Met through Titan. She ended up knowing you like it was amazing how we ended up getting to know each other. Anyways, and then made mutual referrals of you two friend and to Tori, which turned into great things.
00:12:14:17 - 00:12:35:18
Unknown
Amy just reached out to me today, too, and she knows somebody that's with the baby that she was talking to her about my stuff, and she's like, we got to get her nominated for a Torch Award. Like, she would be incredible. And here's a speaking opportunity for you. So it's just so cool how the things, once you start saying what you need in your life, that shit just shows up.
00:12:35:21 - 00:12:55:00
Unknown
Like, be prepared because it works. Yeah. Chills when you said that. And that's like, honestly, like my coaching, the first thing we do is get clear because a lot of people, we all say, okay, it's like with a guy or with a friend, we have it in our head and we think we know what we want. Put it pen to paper, like, what are you looking for in a friendship?
00:12:55:02 - 00:13:19:05
Unknown
My biggest thing was I want authenticity. I don't want to feel tit for tat. I want it to feel genuine. I want it to feel supportive. I want it to feel safe. I got super specific on what I wanted and literally God put her in a room right there for me at the most in the ghetto. It was so ghetto I was yo, I almost did knock it out of my car because I was like, oh, I don't know about this.
00:13:19:08 - 00:13:45:02
Unknown
It was scary. But thank God that we both said yes. We both had to say yes to have that happen. And I'm such a firm believer in you mess. I tell my daughter this all the time. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take, so just take the shot. Yeah, just take it. And I think it's so cool to thank you for bringing up your daughter that we show our girls because we both have daughters.
00:13:45:05 - 00:14:11:15
Unknown
What female friendships look like, too? Because my daughter, obviously she was. She helps you out, too. She babysits her daughter. It's so cool for the comments that I even hear from her. Like, I think it's really cool that you and Nicole go do things together. Like, my daughter has, me with no friends, and she sees me with friends, and she's like, you're just so happy when you come back.
00:14:11:18 - 00:14:34:08
Unknown
It's something that I've missed for so long, but we're teaching them the importance of that because I think a lot of times women will, as they get older, they either try to hold on to friendships that no longer serve them, or they're afraid to make new ones because they don't know how to approach somebody or actually how to show up in a room.
00:14:34:10 - 00:14:56:11
Unknown
I try to take my daughter to as many networking things that I go to that allows a 15 year old to be there just so that she can see, like, this is how you build a business. She wants to have a business. I know will have talks about that too. Like how how do you feel like showing your daughter what female friendships look like is important to you?
00:14:56:14 - 00:15:22:16
Unknown
It's it's everything because you really do like and and not that a spouse or partner can't be supportive or give you that. But men are action and doers. Women are nurturers and emotional. And when you have a connection with another female and it's authentic and you can be vulnerable, the level of cup filling is like so much more.
00:15:22:16 - 00:15:41:00
Unknown
And it's not to say that our partners aren't amazing, but it's just you can't get it with that. They're just not going to understand a level because they don't have the same hormones going through their bodies. They don't have the same struggles, right? So they can listen and relate, but they're not going to truly. And for me, I've always been a firm believer.
00:15:41:00 - 00:15:58:26
Unknown
You lead by example. I want Willow to see my struggles. I want to see I want her to see me fail. I want her to see me when I want her to see me have amazing friendships. When my friendships don't work out, I share those with her. I share why, like I want her to learn how to cultivate and start to think on her own.
00:15:58:26 - 00:16:22:07
Unknown
Like, okay, how can I or how do I want to show up for people? And then also, how do I want people to show up for me? And I think you and I admit that to them, like we give them that expansion of seeing like two strong independent women going after their dreams and supporting each other. And so by nature, they're just going to look for that in somebody else.
00:16:22:07 - 00:16:42:04
Unknown
Yeah. You know what I mean? Yes. I think it's a beautiful demonstration, really demonstration because it's caught not you can talk all you want to the kids, they will do the shit that you do. They will, they will 100% like my let says all the time. At the ultra stuff is always like it's not taught with children.
00:16:42:04 - 00:17:04:01
Unknown
Always. So watch your actions because that's what they're learning from. And I think that that's a beautiful demonstration of our conversations that we have with each other. The authenticity that they see with us. Because I even watch that with my daughter, in high school, you know, when she starts having issues with her girlfriend, she's just like. And you know what?
00:17:04:01 - 00:17:22:03
Unknown
I'm just going to set a boundary, you know, like, how many 15 year olds say that they're more into that. Oh, I got to please so that somebody is an upset with me. Like, she knows, like, we just don't tolerate this kind of shit. So I love that they have that little fire inside of them and that we've been able to put that in there.
00:17:22:05 - 00:17:45:00
Unknown
What do you think as far as friendship is most important to you in your life like today? What is the most important aspect of female friendships? Like what do they give you? I think they really it's it's definitely a fill my cup up type of thing. So really they give me because I'm a single mom, right? I, I'm not dating.
00:17:45:03 - 00:18:08:15
Unknown
They're really my support. Like I'm in the trenches. I'm doing all aspects of my life alone. And so they're the people that I lean on. They're my community. They're my like, heart center. And so definitely, I think it's it's that for me in this season of my life, which maybe they're all they always will be that you know what I mean?
00:18:08:15 - 00:18:27:29
Unknown
Because again, I just have female to female relationship, which I know similar to you, I was always I always hung out with dudes because it was just easier, you know? Yeah. And there wasn't drama. There wasn't anything. And then luckily, I've met women that I can just be. I can just show up. Right? I can truly just say, hey, this is how I'm feeling.
00:18:27:29 - 00:18:49:24
Unknown
This is why I can't show up, or this is why, maybe I'm going to be this way today. And you, as you see me, where I'm at. And that's what I. I've been wanting and needing and relationship. And so I'm very grateful that this season of my life I have that. Sure. I love that about you. And that's been very inspiring to me, is your ability to say, no, I can't do that today.
00:18:49:27 - 00:19:09:19
Unknown
I was just listening to a podcast on the way over here and he was saying, like, when was the last time you said no to someone? Because if you never say no, your yes means nothing. Yeah. And I was like, oh, that's a good one. That is so good because I struggle with that so much. And I know that there's been like those Tuesday meetings where you're like, I just can't today.
00:19:09:19 - 00:19:40:27
Unknown
I just can't. Fantastic. And I understand that. And before with other relationships with with females, it was like, did I do something wrong like you constantly go inside, but it's that just building the strong foundation of like our relationship is not built on that whatsoever. Yeah. You know ever. And if there was ever any animosity, I'd be like, hey, you know, and you have to feel comfortable in being able to have those conversations, but also comfortable enough to just be like, hey, I need some time today.
00:19:41:00 - 00:20:03:03
Unknown
And I love that so much because I've been trying to adopt that just from the things that you've showed me of being able to do that. And it's amazing how many people are so respectful of that. Like, thank you for letting me know, can we reschedule or let me know when you can schedule it again is more often what I get than actually, you know, like, oh well, when can you do it again?
00:20:03:03 - 00:20:24:26
Unknown
Well, let me know when you are available. It's a respect thing that you're really commanding for yourself. And I think that's so, so cool to be able to have that. I really, truly believe that business and your life is never meant for you to do it alone. Yeah, even as you know, you say and I know a lot of the listeners, too.
00:20:24:26 - 00:20:54:25
Unknown
They may be single moms. They're trying to build businesses. Don't ever go about any of this alone. Even if, you know, like, shit hits the fan, you get divorced, you got something else going on, you know, with the relationship that you're in beforehand. It was almost like you feel stagnant. Like if I don't have my person, then I'm not going to be able to, you know, move on with my life or have, you know, have, I don't know what you'd call, like comfort around you or a support system.
00:20:54:28 - 00:21:17:14
Unknown
Just investing in the girlfriends that I have in the last two years. I'm like, everything, my business, whatever could blow the hell up. And I still have these beautiful women in my corner. Yeah, because I don't care about any of that. They care about you. Yeah. And I think it's a really cool validation of, like, you're worthy just as you are.
00:21:17:15 - 00:21:47:01
Unknown
Not all of the shit that you achieve. Yeah. And I think a lot of women that are high performers and business builders and creators struggle with that. Yes. When did you really have, like, that turning point where you realized I'm worthy? Just as I am, instead of what I accomplish and what I do? Yeah, I think for me, and this is why I do what I do now is I try to prevent people from hitting the rock bottom, but I just hit rock bottom, right?
00:21:47:06 - 00:22:10:05
Unknown
And so something had to change. And I realized I identified my whole life based on what society had told me I needed to do. Right? Get married, be a business person, make a lot of money, and I did. I literally hit every check mark on the box, and I was sitting in my closet, just like wanting to end my life.
00:22:10:05 - 00:22:30:19
Unknown
Like I hated my life. I was so unhappy and I had no friends, I had no community. And so I hit rock bottom and I had to say, okay, well, what part did I play in creating this? And a part of the part that I played was I, I isolated myself, I, I was I already know what I need to do, I don't need help, I don't need anyone.
00:22:30:19 - 00:22:49:01
Unknown
Right. My own baggage was self-sabotaging me into having real relationships, because I was afraid that if I got them, I'd wreck them or I'd ruin them, or I'm not lucky enough to have that. And yeah, and so I had to do some deep in our work around that to say, no, no, no, I'm so worthy. I'm a great human.
00:22:49:01 - 00:23:07:03
Unknown
I'm so kind, I know I am. And now that I know who I am, I. I think that's why you and I have the friends we have is we've both leveled up so high that we don't even attract anybody that's not like minded, and that's that, you know, you always hear that you're you're the equivalent of the five people you surround yourself with.
00:23:07:10 - 00:23:29:01

Well, thank God, because the five people that I have around me using, you know. Yeah. Yeah, that's that's so good, so good. I don't even have anything to say after that. That was so good. I really, truly feel like women need to understand that having a good group of girlfriends around you isn't a luxury that you can wait for.
00:23:29:05 - 00:23:58:08

No? Oh, when my kids are older, I'll do this. Or when this happens, then I'll do this. You'll make another excuse. It's the reason why you don't have them. Because you can be crazy busy, as both of us are, and still find time for really awesome friendships. And it will help you even within those busy seasons, to not hit that burnout level, to do something for yourself and be able to stop and have a moment of reflection with your friends, have that.
00:23:58:13 - 00:24:19:18

Do you feel like that has helped you from going back down to the deep end again? Because we know there's been building years for all of us, and there's been character building years, and there's been like, how much pain and shit can you actually take in a year type of stuff? How do you feel like you have come out of that, and how the girlfriends have paid a part of that?
00:24:19:20 - 00:24:43:12

I think, like when we know we were targeted last my, my character year was last year. Definitely a lot of bills. I keep telling her that she's like it was a down year. I'm like, no, that's what builds character. Because if you're winning all the time, you're not building anything but cash. But literally, if I didn't have you and more, I really like threw that year, I don't know if I would have survived because I was like, that was hard.
00:24:43:12 - 00:25:07:15
Unknown
That was really, really hard. There was financial, security and non safety in my life. There was just a lot of stuff. And without you guys just kindly saying like, hey, you're going to be okay or, or like Maura is really good at just being like, I can see how that's hard. You know, like just really seeing a person for what their struggle is, right?
00:25:07:17 - 00:25:34:16
Unknown
It's it's priceless. You can't put a price tag on it. And what's crazy is every single one of my clients and most of my clients are females, high level entrepreneurs right there. All they want is to have a vulnerable friendship. Yeah. And it's like we all want the same thing, but yet we're we've been pitted against each other or, you know, like it's women haven't been able to have these like deep, deep connections.
00:25:34:16 - 00:25:57:08
Unknown
And I'm starting to see a change and I hope that it really does because this what we have like it is the highlighted is one of the things that I value most in my life. Yes, me too. And it's about being able to lift each other up. I think when you really lift yourself up to another level, you don't have that.
00:25:57:11 - 00:26:19:08
Unknown
If I tell her that she's going to go tell so-and-so and stretch this and talk shit, it's not Real Housewives crap, you know what I mean? Yeah. It actually is something that I've never thought for two seconds in any conversation that we've had. Yeah, like, I hope that was safe to have that. That's so funny you say that because I literally now that you say that, I've never once.
00:26:19:08 - 00:26:45:07
Unknown
And I've told you some shit. Yeah. I've never once not felt safe telling you that. Yeah, yeah. That's so interesting. And isn't that crazy that it's never really crossed our minds to even think about that? And that's what I wish everybody to be able to find. So in just kind of closing up, because we just want to have a quick chat to inspire you to go find some damn girl friends.
00:26:45:09 - 00:27:10:02
Unknown
Yeah. What is one of your biggest pieces of advice you would give to someone that maybe been burned by people in the past? That is a little bit leery of having good girlfriends. What's your piece of advice to step out of that shit and really go after it? Yeah, so if you know me, you know I'm the what part did you play in it?
00:27:10:05 - 00:27:31:18
Unknown
I think we own everything. And so what I had to own in my part was that I was in authentic. I was showing up as how I thought they wanted me to be, not who I was. And the second I flipped the script and just showed up authentically, my life changed. So really, truly show up authentically. If you're awkward like me, be awkward.
00:27:31:18 - 00:27:52:06
Unknown
It's okay. You're people that like the awkwardness are gonna allow it. If you cuss a lot like me, that there's people that are going to like it and not like it, knowing that you're not everybody's cup of tea, you're not trying to be every single person's friend you just need. I literally have three solid girlfriends. That's it. That's all I need.
00:27:52:12 - 00:28:15:22
Unknown
Yeah. And they all love me because I'm just me. Yeah, I'm authentically me. So I think that was the game changer for me is I just started to show up super authentic, super intentional. And my entire group of friends changed drastically. They all disappeared because I wasn't people pleasing them and being who they wanted me to be. And that's okay, right?
00:28:15:22 - 00:28:37:17
Unknown
They have their own people and that that's good for them. But I found my people and that. So authenticity, authenticity, authenticity, yes. Showing up who you are is absolutely huge. I think everybody tries to be like, oh, well, you know, I do that too, or I like that too. And inside you're like, I really don't like that.
00:28:37:19 - 00:29:00:26
Unknown
It's hard to keep an act up and people can tell, you know, I really, really feel like when you can get that vibe and sense from somebody, like, explore it, figure out things about them, you know, like, even if it's just a little intuition when you walk by somebody that you're like, interesting, go talk to them. I feel like some of the best, like even business girl relationships.
00:29:00:26 - 00:29:21:19
Unknown
I have has been like a chance encounter at a networking event where we've been like, they'd say one little thing, or I heard somebody in the corner being like, oh, fuck no, or something like that. And I was like, that's my people. Yeah, just being able to sense out that and be open to it. It's amazing what comes into your life.
00:29:21:20 - 00:29:44:03
Unknown
You really have to be open to it, though, because if you're closed off those those high vibe and high frequency people will continue to walk on by. Yeah, absolutely I agree. Well thank you so much. This has been so much fun. Always, always. I love you to pieces and girls. You have to go out. Ladies, girls, women, all of you and find yourself a Nicole.
00:29:44:08 - 00:30:04:01
Unknown
Go find yourself an incredible business bestie that you can talk about life. Good. Someone that's going to be your cheerleader. Someone that will be that support tell you that you're crazy when you need to hear that you know just everything authentic in your life. Go find her. And until then, keep kicking ass.
