Building a personal brand and a business with no backup plan sounds terrifying, and for some women it’s exactly what moves them forward.

In this episode, I sit down with Robyn Flynn, podcast producer and owner of Le Studio Quinze in Montreal, to talk about pivoting from a dream career in radio, becoming a mom after a long fertility journey, and building a business where failure simply isn’t on the table.

We’re talking about:
✨ What it takes to create a welcoming space for women in a male-dominated industry
✨ Robyn’s path from childhood Habs fan to play-by-play broadcaster to studio owner
✨ How motherhood and a three-year fertility journey reshaped her priorities and her career
✨ Turning the skills and relationships you already have into a business, even without a traditional plan
✨ A simple way to set boundaries by deciding in advance what you’re willing to sacrifice
✨ Saying yes before you feel ready, and how every stage fright moment becomes proof of your confidence
✨ The case for diving in without a safety net when your business is your livelihood
✨ Daily rituals, reflection, and trusting that you’re being guided
✨ What it means to be a warrior who keeps getting back up

If you’ve been waiting to feel ready before you go all in, Robyn’s story is your permission to start now.
