What Joining My First Mastermind Taught Me (and Why It Changed Everything)

Have you ever looked around a room full of successful entrepreneurs and thought, “I don’t belong here”? That moment hit hard the first time I considered joining a mastermind — and saw the $25,000 price tag. In this episode, I’m sharing the raw truth of investing in my very first mastermind: the doubts, the imposter syndrome, and the terrifying leap that turned into a $255,000 launch just six months later. At the time, I had never invested in peer coaching or business education. I had built my company solo — no courses, no mentors, no community. But I knew something had to change. What happened next challenged everything: my beliefs about money, my mindset around growth, and what’s actually possible when you're the least experienced person in the room.
