Why I stopped shrinking on court 🏸

We all suck at first.

We suck at walking before we run.
We suck at biking before our first 20k.
We suck at business before our first win.

I sucked at badminton for months.
No progress. No flow. Just mistakes.

Same with dancing.
At first, I couldn’t even follow my lead.
Three years later, I’m teaching.

Sucking is part of growth.
Unpleasant. Messy. Inevitable.

But here’s the hardest part:
Not the sucking itself.
It’s the voice in our head saying:
“You’re not good enough.
You’ll never get there.
Look at them…you’re way behind.”

Yesterday, I was on the court.
And I noticed something new.
The more experienced players?
They weren’t shrinking after mistakes.
They weren’t beating themselves up.
They just kept going.

Meanwhile me?
Every mistake…I shrank.
Energetically. Physically. Emotionally.

Until something clicked.

Not every shot was my fault.
Sometimes the opponent is stronger.
Sometimes my partner and I misread each other.
It’s not all on me.

And when I shifted that?
I played better.
I felt stronger.
I started winning.

Same shoes. Same racket.
Even forgot my knee braces.
The only thing that changed?
👉 Confidence.

And this is exactly what I see with female founders.

I’ve recorded 33 podcast episodes.
90% of them circle back to one theme:
“I’m not good enough.”

That voice costs money.
It kills momentum.
It keeps brilliant women playing smaller than they are.

I couldn’t ignore it anymore.

So I built a program.
For founders ready to move from self-doubt ➝ self-trust.
Where you stop shrinking after mistakes.
Where you rise instead.

No more procrastination.
No more energy leaks.
No more revenue left behind.

Instead:
✨ Powerhouse decisions
✨ More revenue
✨ Unshakable belief in yourself
