We talk about the pivotal moment that led her to seek help, how she discovered CBF, and the changes she made to create a thriving cleaning company and a dream lifestyle (including her horse!). Her story is raw, real, and incredibly inspiring for any cleaning business owner looking for a reason to keep going.
