Ever felt like you’re not the same person you were when you started your business, or that maybe you haven’t even met your true biz self yet? Then you've gotta hop into this episode.

This week, I’m joined by the vibrant and brilliant Coach KemZi, a self-reinvention coach and business strategist who helps aspiring entrepreneurs grow businesses that reflect who they really are. (Yes, chocolate cake is involved. 🍫✨)

We’re talking about identity work, building confidence before you feel ready, starting over (sometimes more than once), and how business is so much more than strategies and sales funnels. It’s about becoming who you’re meant to be... even if you’re doing it scared.

KemZi shares her personal story of transformation, including how a near-death experience gave her the push she needed to finally say yes to the life and business she wanted — not the one that felt expected.

This conversation is a cozy, powerful permission slip to leave behind what no longer fits and build something real. If you’ve ever said “I’m not ready,” “I’m not confident enough,” or “I don’t know who I am anymore”… don’t skip this one.

In this episode, we chat about:

💫 What it really means to launch yourself, not just your business

🧠 Identity work as the foundation of business strategy

📉 Why “failure” is actually part of the success path

🍰 The difference between chocolate cake… and cake that tastes like chocolate (ahem)

🎭 How to stop booing yourself offstage before you’ve even performed

🚨 ADHD, social media anxiety, and building systems that actually work for your brain

🛠 Tips for building confidence when you feel like you have none

📝 Her 4-step identity shift process for becoming the biz version of you

🧁 Rewriting the story of who you are — and what your business can become
