Adversity is unavoidable. It comes when we least expect it and when it's most inconvenient. Hard years and transitions are inevitable, and in one of her most vulnerable episodes yet, your host Kimberly Brown shares what happened in 2022 that put her life on pause and taught her some of the biggest life lessons.

Tune in as Kimberly sits down with friend and podcast producer, Jessica Hurley, to flip the script and get real about divorce, brain surgery, and being forced to finally put herself first.

KEY POINTS:

- Learning how to ask for help and be vulnerable

- How to set yourself up for success in business and life

- Therapy, therapy, therapy!

- "Do I want everything that is around me?"

- What do you need to be okay? How do you give it to yourself?

QUOTABLES:

"Part of me knows there are very few things that I can't figure out. But on the other side, I don't want to figure it all out. I don't want to do it all the time."

"I think there's some things that you work through, some things that you grow through, and some things that you heal through. So you gotta let go."

"I think it's important to acknowledge it like it is. It is bad. This sucks. It hurts. It is painful. I'm unhappy. And once you acknowledge it, what is your plan to get through, to grow through it? Because you don't want to be there forever."
