In this solo episode of Enterprise Confessional, Deshea reflects on the year with honesty—not performance. This isn’t a highlight reel or a list of wins meant to impress. It’s a grounded breakdown of what actually moved the needle, what quietly drained energy, and what will not be carried into the next season.

Deshea unpacks where hustle was replaced by clarity, where doing less created more stability, and how forcing outcomes—clients, timelines, visibility, or validation—proved to be the most expensive habit of all. She shares the lessons that didn’t come from pushing harder, but from listening sooner, tightening boundaries, and building from alignment instead of urgency.

This episode is for enterprise owners who are tired of pretending everything worked, who are learning that sustainability matters more than speed, and who are ready to release what no longer fits without needing to justify it.

In this deeply reflective episode of Enterprise Confessional, Deshea sits down with Elise Russ, founder and creator of Enchanted with GLU, for a conversation that moves beyond business strategy and into the heart of personal rebirth. This episode is a pause—a moment of honesty about what happens when growth requires letting go, when healing becomes non-negotiable, and when success can no longer come at the cost of self-abandonment.

Together, Deshea and Elise explore the quiet ways burnout shows up through people-pleasing, overcommitment, and the inability to set boundaries. They share personal experiences of transitioning from constantly showing up for others to learning how to protect their energy, trust their intuition, and honor discomfort as part of the healing process. This conversation acknowledges that boundaries are not walls—they are acts of self-love, self-preservation, and self-respect.

Elise opens up about her journey through deep personal healing, loss, and self-discovery, describing a season of transformation where identity is shed and rebuilt—much like a butterfly emerging into a new phase of life. She speaks candidly about recognizing her spiritual gifts, learning to trust her inner voice, and embracing a path that no longer fits inside boxes or external expectations. Deshea mirrors this experience by sharing her own evolution, including unlearning people-pleasing, reclaiming autonomy, and redefining success from the inside out.

This episode also explores how personal healing directly impacts professional growth. From managing energy and preventing creative burnout to releasing perfectionism and learning how to create from a genuine, unfiltered place, Deshea and Elise unpack what it truly means to build a life and business that feel aligned. They touch on intuition, self-discipline, emotional honesty, and the courage it takes to say “no” without guilt.

This episode is for founders, creatives, and leaders who are in a season of becoming—who are learning that inner work is the foundation for sustainable success, and that honoring yourself is not a setback, but a breakthrough.

In this episode of Enterprise Confessional, Deshea sits down with Deja Howard former corporate accountant turned beauty entrepreneur turned credit and financial education strategist—for an honest conversation about identity shifts, imposter syndrome, and the power of understanding money beyond hustle.

Deja shares her journey from a stable corporate role at a university to launching a beauty business funded through personal loans and credit cards—and the hard realities that forced her to pivot when health challenges made behind-the-chair work unsustainable. What followed wasn’t failure, but a strategic reinvention rooted in financial literacy, credit mastery, and self-trust.

Together, Deshea and Deja unpack: • The emotional and psychological side of imposter syndrome during career pivots • How credit can be leveraged as buying power—not a last resort • Common credit myths that keep entrepreneurs stuck in shame • Why so many beauty and service-based businesses fail due to financial blind spots • The danger of doing “too much” instead of building clarity, focus, and a niche • How to build a complete credit profile and take control of your financial narrative

From philanthropy and grants to vending machines and credit, Bianca has mastered the art of turning ideas into capital and capital into community change.

Together, Deshea and Bianca unpack the truth behind why so many entrepreneurs say they can’t get funded… yet aren’t structurally or strategically ready for money when it shows up.

This conversation goes beyond credit scores and grant applications. We dig into: • What separates fundable founders from those who stay stuck • How hustle has shifted—and why lack of execution is costing entrepreneurs opportunities • What investors and grantors are REALLY looking for in 2026 • The intersection of purpose, profit, and preparedness • Why brand, systems, and operational readiness matter more than ever

If you’re an enterprise owner seeking capital, scaling, or trying to become more “hands-off” in your business, this episode will challenge your mindset and elevate your approach.

Tap in for real game, real strategy, and a blueprint for becoming the type of entrepreneur who doesn’t chase funding funding chases you.

“You cannot build sustainably from a dysregulated place. Healing is not a weakness.. it’s a return to power.”

In this raw and unfiltered cliffhanger episode of Enterprise Confessional, Deshea pulls back the curtain on a truth many beauty pros experience but almost nobody talks about:

✨ The moment your success starts threatening the very people you serve.

This episode digs into a viral story about a stylist who lost clients simply because she bought a home and uses it as the gateway to a deeper conversation about resentment, entitlement, and the silent jealousy that hides behind casual conversation in service-based industries.

Deshea shares her own experiences of realizing that not every client sitting in your chair is cheering for you, and some are quietly hoping you never outgrow the version of you they feel comfortable with.

Inside this episode, we explore:

🔥 Why some clients view beauty professionals as “beneath them”

“Wow… I didn’t know they felt that way about me.”

As Deshea says..

“Some people want you to win… but only if you never win more than them.”

And just when you think the episode is wrapping up, she leaves you with the cliffhanger question that will sit in your spirit long after it ends:

If your clients knew your next level… would they clap for you, or quietly clock your every move waiting for you to fail?

Buckle up.. this one hits nerves.
