say YES to yourself! | Midlife Reinvention & Empowerment for Women

Building a Family Business After Loss | Andi Shaughnessy & Danielle Carter


Listen Later

Welcome to the Say YES to Yourself! Podcast—the show for midlife women, empty nesters, and anyone navigating life after divorce, burnout, or big transitions. If you're ready to shed cultural expectations, reconnect with your true self, and put your joy first—you're in the right place.

In this episode, Wendy sits down with sisters Andi Shaughnessy and Danielle Carter, who took over their father's delivery business after his passing, only to lose their top five clients three weeks later. With no business experience, they transformed Express It from 18 drivers to over 200, but this conversation goes deeper than business metrics.

They explore:

  • Why the fear of regret became the catalyst for saying yes
  • What happened when they stopped hiding their success and started celebrating it
  • The unexpected power of telling your story instead of keeping yourself small

This is a conversation about resilience, sisterhood, and rewriting the narratives that no longer serve you. Tune in and discover why treating people right in the moment is the real competitive advantage in business and in life.
