In this episode.

I get personal and raw as I share the behind-the-scenes of navigating a recent breakup—and how it’s rippled through my life, mental health, and business. This isn’t just about relationships. It’s about the messy, beautiful recalibration that happens when you let go of something (or someone) that isn’t aligned—and finally make space for something better. This is for anyone who’s felt like their personal life is bleeding into their work and wondered if that’s... actually a gift.

We talk about:

What grief and business have in common
The emotional toll of breakups (and why they hit so hard when you’re a biz owner)
Why giving yourself grace is a strategy
The power of recalibrating your desires after heartbreak
Letting go of connections so new ones can find you
Setting boundaries with yourself (not just other people)
Avoidance patterns and the sneaky ways they block growth
How life’s messiest moments can lead to the clearest business decisions

Ways to plug in
