Built for the Edge E #460: [Part I] The Breakdown Before the Breakthrough - Bali, Debt & the Lies I Told Myself
In Part I of her 4-part series, The Truth About Building a Business That’s Real, Raw, and Still Rising, Kehla shares the story of one of the darkest, most pivotal moments in her entrepreneurial journey.
In spring 2023, she flew to Bali chasing alignment, freedom, and the belief that the universe would reward her bravery. But behind the dreamy content and curated launch was over $30K of debt, financial avoidance, and a growing disconnect from reality.
This episode unpacks the spiritual bypassing that often hides behind “alignment,” the breakdown moment that exposed her blind spots, and the conversation with her fiancé that forced her to finally get honest about what wasn’t working.
Listeners will hear:
– Why her business wasn’t converting despite “doing all the right things”
– The cost of masking avoidance with mindset work
– The shame of secret debt and the power of radical responsibility
– How this rock-bottom moment birthed her first six-figure offer
Kehla invites listeners to reflect on one powerful question:
What truth are you currently avoiding in the name of alignment?
This is not just an episode—it’s a permission slip to stop pretending, start owning your reality, and rise for real.
