There was a season in my business where I truly felt like I was drowning — and I didn’t even know how to admit it. In this episode, I’m sharing one of the scariest and most emotional moments in my business: the day I realized I could not do it all alone anymore. I was exhausted, running on no sleep, packaging orders all day, doing live shows at night, and trying to be present for my kids. I was crying on the living room floor, surrounded by bags, with my baby crawling around me — and I truly felt like I was about to break. That’s when my husband gently said, “What if we hire...

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a story I NEVER thought I’d talk about publicly — the day I thought my entire business was over. The day my neighbors reported me to the city… and I had 30 days to shut everything down. I still remember opening the door and seeing the city worker standing there with a notice in his hand. My heart dropped. I felt sick. I literally thought, “God… is this really happening right now?” I had worked so hard to get my business off the ground. My garage was full of inventory, USPS trucks were showing up every day, we were shipping hundreds of packages…...

Hey, it’s Cindy! Welcome back to Moms & Crumbs, where I help you build real income from home and learn how to resell on Whatnot.

In this episode, I’m opening up about one of the biggest fears I had to overcome when I started selling live — being on camera. From crying through my first Facebook Live to freezing during my first Whatnot show, I’m sharing it all — the nerves, the lessons, and the exact steps that helped me find confidence and finally show up as me.

When I first started, even seeing myself on camera made me want to quit. I was still deep in postpartum depression, struggling with debt, and battling all the “what-ifs.” What if no one watched? What if my English wasn’t good enough? What if I looked silly? But I remembered something my mentor once told me — you are the brand.

So I took on a 30-day live challenge — going live every single day, even when I cried, stumbled, or froze. That challenge changed my life. It taught me that confidence doesn’t come before you start — it comes because you start.

If you’ve ever felt scared to hit “Go Live,” this episode is for you. I’ll walk you through how to push past the fear, find your “why,” and keep showing up even when no one’s watching.

🎧 Hit play to hear how I turned fear into fuel — and how you can, too.

💡 Key Takeaways

  • Confidence comes from consistency — not perfection.
  • Your “why” is your anchor; write it down and read it daily.
  • Treat one viewer like a hundred — every person matters.
  • Block distractions (yes, even cover that viewer count if you need to).
  • You don’t need to be perfect — you just need to show up.
