Entrepreneurship is a wild ride—you think you’re scaling smoothly, and BAM! A curveball hits. That’s exactly what happened to me. In this episode, I share the unexpected challenges my business faced when it took off in Canada and how we problem-solved on the fly. From shipping nightmares to retail opportunities that forced us to think on our feet, this journey taught me that growing pains are part of the game. The key? Stop overthinking, take action, and learn as you go!
