456: We Audit YOUR Instagram Bios Live!

 Today Evie and Lindsay are spilling the tea on the real, raw, and slightly chaotic lessons they have learned across a decade of entrepreneurship. From the early days of nonstop hustle, to the intense journey of building a swimsuit brand, to hiring people without enough oversight and even ignoring their own finances for far too long, the girls take you behind the scenes of what actually happens when growth moves faster than strategy. You will laugh, cringe, and nod along as they reflect on the moments that stretched them, stressed them, taught them, and ultimately grew them into stronger and wiser entrepreneurs. If you are building a business, dreaming of one, or simply wanting to feel less alone in the messy middle, this episode gives you a clear reminder that every setback is a setup for future strength. --------------------------------- Manual Mode Freebie: https://theheartuniversity.com/manual --------------------------------- Heart Shop: https://theheartuniversity.com/shop  --------------------------------- Primally Pure: https://primallypure.com/?rfsn=5649435.725fd3 Use HEARTANDHUSTLE for 10% OFF. --------------------------------- Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@theheartuniversitychannel?si=33lzxpBA9UxKlgTE --------------------------------- If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here. --------------------------------- "PODCAST10" for 10% off anything from The Shop! www.theheartuniversity.com/shop --------------------------------- Follow along: www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity
