Episode Synopsis

In our very first episode of Hot Tea with Umo and Bri, we’re spilling the tea on what it really looks like to build a career in sports nutrition and wellness... without a roadmap, without a blueprint, and definitely without perfect confidence.We open up about starting our businesses in complete uncertainty, taking messy action, navigating motherhood, and battling the self-doubt that comes when you're the only one in the room who looks like you. From landing our first clients to reaching a breaking point that forced a major pivot, we share the moments that shaped us and the mindset shifts that kept us going.Whether you’re a dietitian, an entrepreneur, or someone trying to find your voice in a space that wasn’t built for you, this episode is your reminder: you don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to begin.Umo's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sassy.sports.dietitian/Bri's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theathletitian/If you got something from today's Hot Tea, make sure you subscribe, leave a 5 star review and spill the tea with someone else! Episode highlights:(0:00) Intro(1:10) Welcome to Hot Tea with Umo and Bri and how their careers began(3:00) Navigating early uncertainty and building a career without a model(5:04) First client moments and finding confidence through small wins(7:10) The 2022 business crisis that led to a critical pivot(10:37) Family, identity shifts, and redefining confidence(13:19) Doing things scared and taking chances in entrepreneurship(16:57) Advice they wish they had when starting out(20:51) Why documenting your vision matters in moments of doubt(22:35) Final encouragement: You don’t need to have it all figured out
