PODCAST EPISODE SYNOPSIS

Grief doesn’t pause for deadlines — and when you’re a business owner, you don’t always get to either. This week, I’m pulling from personal experience to talk about navigating loss while still holding the weight of a business, why it’s essential to make space for grief, and how to give yourself permission to show up differently when life unravels.
