What happens when you stop waiting for the perfect moment and just start?

In this episode of The Confident Woman Podcast, Rachel Brooks sits down with Tami and Elizabeth Lange, the mother-daughter duo behind Save the Girls, a touchscreen purse company that went from a prayer, a problem, and a one-way ticket to China to a massive success in just six weeks. They share the raw, real story of risking their college savings, navigating literal storms (like a shipping container lost at sea), and why starting before you are ready is the only way to build something real. If you have been sitting on a God-given idea waiting for a blueprint, this conversation will give you the courage to take the first step.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How a lost phone and a Family financial crisis led to a multi-million dollar business idea
• Why you need to start before you are ready—and why waiting for perfection will kill your dream
• The reality of running a business with your family and how it can actually bring you closer
• How to navigate massive business setbacks (like losing $150,000 of product in a tsunami) with faith and grace
• Why the most successful businesses are built on solving real problems and giving back

Scripture for the Soul:

“A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” — Proverbs 16:9
