One of the highlights of my first attempt at launching The Basics Bitch:
Spending 3 hours on a video call with a woman I’d never met from the other side of the world, while sitting in a bar drinking.
We solved some business problems.
We raised questions to tackle later.
But mostly? We just talked.
About life experiences and how they impact business. About the messy reality behind the highlight reels. About the stuff that actually matters when you’re building something that fits your real life.
It was one of the most genuine conversations I’d had in the business space.
No performative “let me give you my 5-step framework” energy.
No pitch at the end.
No curated professional backdrop or perfectly planned talking points.
Just two humans, a drink, and an actual conversation about the intersection of life and business.
That’s what actual authenticity looks like.
Not the Instagram version where everyone claims to be “authentic” while carefully crafting every word to sound relatable.
Not the “let me vulnerably share this thing I’ve already processed and packaged for consumption” posts.
Real authenticity is messy.
It’s unplanned.
It’s a 3-hour conversation that meanders between strategy and life stories because you can’t separate the two.
Your life experiences shape how you build your business.
Your limitations, your values, your circumstances—they’re not separate from your strategy.
They ARE your strategy.
The businesses that actually work long-term?
They’re built by people who stop pretending life and business exist in separate boxes.
So yeah.
Some of my best business moments have happened in bars, on rambling calls, in conversations that had no agenda except to actually connect.
That’s the energy I’m bringing to everything I do now.
Less polish.
More real.
Always human💋
