Episode summary
In this episode, Susan Jensen and Mika-Tashé St. Fleur officially introduce You Good, Girl? — Solopreneur Life, Unpolished and the story behind how it came to life (including the lost “episode zero”… still in mourning).
They share the real behind-the-scenes of going all in on their businesses—unexpected layoffs, starting from scratch, years of side hustle evolution, and the messy middle of figuring out what you actually want to be known for.
This conversation sets the tone for the podcast: unfiltered, honest check-ins on the highs, lows, and everything in between when you’re building a business and a life at the same time.
At its core, this episode is about community, clarity (or lack of it), and giving yourself permission to figure it out as you go.
In this episode
The origin of You Good, Girl? (and how one offhand comment turned into a brand)
The lost “episode zero” and why it oddly validates the whole unpolished concept
Why both Susan and Mika went all in on solopreneurship—just maybe not on their own timeline
The reality of layoffs, reinvention, and starting over later in your career“Marketing stuff” and the early-stage identity crisis every business owner goes through
Why clarity takes time—and only comes after you start moving
The pressure (and freedom) of being your own brand
Mika’s journey from side hustle to 10-year business evolution—and narrowing her focus
Why doing too many things well can actually hold you back
The importance of community, especially when you don’t know what you’re doing (which is… often)
Creative outlets as survival tools (rearranging furniture counts)
The emotional side of entrepreneurship—grief, burnout, and those “you good?” days
Why this podcast exists: to normalize the messy, not just the highlight reel
