EPISODE 523 – WHAT AN OLYMPIAN TAUGHT ME ABOUT BUSINESS GRIT

This week, I’m taking you behind the scenes of one of the most emotionally chaotic, logistically packed, spiritually sobering 48 hours I’ve had in a long time — but what anchored me through it all? A single sentence from a U.S. Olympian on Top Chef, of all places. It stopped me in my tracks and gave me the business pep talk I didn’t know I needed: pressure is a privilege.

So in this episode, we’re pulling that thread — what it means, how it shows up, and why it might just be the quiet mindset shift you need if you’ve been feeling the weight of trying to grow something real in the middle of life being… a lot.

I’m also catching you up on the chaos (garage door vandals, grief, garden wins, and Jeep purchases), sharing a Hilma product that’s actually working for me, and walking through the real-time shifts I’m making inside my routine and my content rhythm. Because around here? It’s part journal, part business strategy, and part reminder that growth is rarely tidy — but always worth it.
