About this listen

In this episode, we lean into the conversation we’ve been circling for months: money.

Not “here’s our revenue model” money—more like the emotional reality of building something that isn’t generating income yet, while still needing stability, runway, and a plan. We talk about scarcity stories, fear of running out, and how quickly anxiety can narrow your thinking into “there’s no way out.”

From there, we move into what actually helps: zooming out, getting honest about burn rate and savings without spiraling, and creating enough spaciousness to be creative again. We unpack how founder financial stress isn’t just a numbers problem—it’s a nervous system problem—and why the way you approach the conversation matters as much as the outcome.

We also reflect on partnership: how doing this with a co-founder changes everything when you trust each other—how it softens the “this is all on me” narrative, and makes room for shared responsibility, clearer decisions, and forward momentum.

If you’re a founder navigating uncertainty, runway, or the constant tension between dreaming big and paying bills—this episode will feel familiar.
