  "Is This Even Worth It?" — Cheryl Dempsey on the Real Cost of Building Something From Nothing

  Jul 29, 202637 min

  What does it really take to build something from nothing — while raising kids, running a business, and doing it all without a single cold call? In Episode 15 of STANDOUT Cabo, Paige Hernandez sits down with Cheryl Dempsey of Coastal Breeze Processing for one of the most honest, raw, and real conversations of the season. Cheryl started her processing company four years ago with $14,000 in top line revenue. This year she's on track to hit a million. And every single client came from a referral. But this episode isn't just about the numbers. It's about everything that happens behind them. In this episode: From $14K to $1M in four years — and why Cheryl almost didn't see it coming Why every client at Coastal Breeze Processing came from a referral and what that actually means The emotional weight nobody talks about in mortgage and how it can literally keep you up at night Learning to say no to business that doesn't fit — and why that's actually the growth The scarcity vs. abundance battle that every self-generating business owner knows too well Why the group chat changed everything — and what real community looks like for women in this industry The moment Paige's mom told her "figure this out or this business will kill you" Knowing when you've done your best — even when it still feels like it wasn't enough This one will hit different if you've ever asked yourself "is this even worth it?" and kept going anyway.

  "The Comment That Changed Everything" — Kristin Guillaume on Bias & 23 Years in Mortgage

  Jul 13, 202638 min

  What do you do when someone tells you your success has nothing to do with your talent — and everything to do with how you look? In this episode of STANDOUT Cabo, Kristin Guillaume, Account Executive at The Loan Store, gets refreshingly honest about 23 years in the mortgage industry — the gender bias she faced, why she didn't report it, and what she'd tell her younger self now. Kristin and Paige dig into the real stuff nobody talks about in this industry: The comment a male colleague made repeatedly that stopped Kristin cold — and why it was anything but a compliment Why women in this industry earn every single inch and still get told it's luck The ops vs. sales divide and why alignment between the two is everything People pleasing, saying no, and the boundary work that never really ends Why giving first is the fastest way to get unstuck What it actually looks like when women stop competing and start collaborating This one is honest, warm, and the kind of conversation you don't usually get to hear in a professional setting. 🔗 Learn more about The Loan Store: @TheLoanStoreInc 📲 Follow us across all platforms: notorious.wmn.com STANDOUT by NOTORIOUS® exists because companies believe the female voice deserves a bigger stage.
