EP #163: Breaking Through What You Think Is Possible with Maddy of Color Chroma
Jun 16, 2026
If you’ve ever felt like the hardest part of business isn’t always what to do every day, but it’s believing bigger results are actually possible for you... this episode is for you.
In today’s episode, I’m talking with my Localpreneur Academy student Maddy Memmer, the owner of Color Chroma in Austin, Texas, a color analysis and personal stying business.
Maddy is a former teacher who has spent the last few years building a business that has grown beyond what she once believed was available to her. In this conversation, we talk about the internal glass ceilings she had to break through, how her background shaped what she thought was realistic, and what it looked like to keep going even when her brain wanted to doubt the process. We also talk about what mindset work really is, why it matters so much in business and how learning to think more powerfully and intentionally helped her create a fully booked business.
In this episode, we talk about:
- The biggest belief shifts Maddy had to make as a former teacher stepping into entrepreneurship
- Why mindset work is about more than “thinking happy thoughts” and how intentional thinking changed how she showed up in her business
- How Maddy learned to keep going through doubt, emotional ups and downs, and the internal glass ceilings
