Episode 23 | You’re not stuck because you’re incapable — you’re stuck because you’re carrying an old story into a new season.

In this episode of BUILD IT, BABY!, Penelope Bent explores why our minds replay past experiences on a loop, how unprocessed stories quietly shape our decisions, and what it really takes to trust yourself again when you’re stepping into a new chapter. From the science of repetition to the deeper work of meaning-making, this conversation reframes resilience, personal growth, and confidence as skills you can build — not traits you’re born with.

This episode is for entrepreneurs, women entrepreneurs, female founders, and anyone navigating a career pivot, reinvention, or season of uncertainty. You’ll learn why trust isn’t about eliminating risk, how to stop dragging past chapters into present decisions, and how to move forward with clarity, intention, and design — in business and in life.

Plus, a listener Q&A on opening a business abroad — and how purpose-driven thinking can shape business strategy at any stage.
