In this episode, I’m stripping it back and talking about what I don’t have in my business—no big team, no fancy office, no elaborate workflows.

Just me, my laptop, and a setup that feels right for how I want to work. I dive into why a lean approach can actually be more freeing and how you don’t need all the extras to thrive. I also share some behind-the-scenes insights on what tools and strategies I actually use to keep things running smoothly, from managing client work with just email and Notion to setting solid boundaries that keep me sane.

If you're curious about what it really takes to run a business on your own terms, this episode’s for you.
