Grief isn’t something most of us plan for when we map out our businesses, but it will change you, and by default, your business too.

In this episode, I open up about losing both of my parents within a year and the ripple effects grief had on me as a CEO, business owner, and human. I’m not sugarcoating it—grief is messy, unpredictable, and permanent. But I also share how I navigated those darker seasons, how I adjusted my business when I had no capacity for “growth mode,” and what it looks like to run a business alongside grief today.

Whether you’re in the thick of anticipatory grief, have lost someone, or simply want to understand how grief impacts entrepreneurs, I hope this episode helps you feel less alone.

In this episode, you'll hear… 

• Why anticipatory grief can feel invisible and misunderstood
• The way grief changed my identity—and how that shows up in my business
• How I made decisions in my business when I had zero bandwidth
• The role of steadiness (not hustle) in navigating tough seasons
• Why grief doesn’t go away, but how I’ve learned to live and work with it
