Have you ever left a job—by choice or not—and wondered why stepping into entrepreneurship still feels so heavy?

Many high-achieving women discover that leaving behind a corporate role is more than a change in title; it’s an emotional and spiritual upheaval. In this week’s episode, host Deb Boulanger welcomes career strategist and grief recovery specialist Laverne McKinnon, who reveals why professional heartbreaks can spark lasting transformation. You’ll discover why grieving job loss is not just logical but essential, how disenfranchised grief uniquely affects ambitious women in work-life transition, and why corporate layoffs hold a deeper emotional impact than most realize. If you’ve ever wondered why old self-doubt or impostor syndrome still lingers long after your exit, or how to ritualize your rebirth as a business owner, this conversation is a must-listen.

Don’t let unprocessed loss sabotage your next chapter—discover how honoring and integrating grief is the first step to powerful entrepreneurial reinvention.
