May was... a lot.

In this episode of You Good, Girl?, Susan and Mika take a step back to reflect on launching the podcast, hosting their first solopreneur workshop, and surviving a month that pushed both of them to the edge of burnout.

They talk about what they're learning in real time:

• Why saying "no" is one of the hardest business skills to develop.

• How AI is becoming less of a writing tool and more of a thinking partner.

• The surprising ways people are discovering the podcast.

• What it's really like to build a business without having all the answers.

• Why leaving a little space in your life might be the best productivity hack there is.

Along the way, you'll meet "Dark Susan," hear about the evolving role of content and search, and get an honest look at what entrepreneurship feels like after the honeymoon phase.

If you're building something of your own, considering the leap into solopreneurship, or simply trying to navigate work and life with a little more humanity, this one's for you.

Resources mentioned:

• Solopreneur Readiness Scorecard

• Business Starter Kit
