Calm & Colorful: Not Your Average MBA Diaries

Education


In this episode, I share what I learned from a One Day MBA workshop that completely reframed how I look at ideas, doubts, and testing in my business.

The big reminder: Don’t talk yourself out of an idea. Test it.


I’ll walk you through the 5 Why’s Forward Framework, the three core questions every idea needs to answer (What problem? For who? Why does it matter?), and why customer discovery matters more than building the “perfect” solution.


You’ll also hear the tension I’m working through — focusing on mamas of toddlers while still feeling pulled to serve all ages and how I’m learning to stay problem-first, not solution-first.


Plus: simple tips you can apply right now to validate your own ideas without overthinking or overbuilding.
