What would it look like to walk away from the "safe" career path and build something that truly lights you up?

In this episode, I’m joined by Assia Mahmood—entrepreneur, mom, mentor, and owner of Windhaven Academy, a thriving childcare center in Texas. Assia’s story is one of deep resilience and bold, purpose-driven leadership. She left a stable corporate job to follow her vision—and what happened next was anything but easy.

We talk about what it really looks like to take a leap of faith when the timing isn’t perfect (pregnancy, renovation delays, and a global pandemic, to name a few hurdles), and how staying rooted in your why can carry you through seasons of uncertainty.

🎧 In this conversation, we explore:

• What it means to pivot with purpose

• How Assia navigated unexpected challenges—floods, staffing changes, and COVID

• The mindset shifts that helped her stay focused on the big picture

• The power of delegation and protecting your energy as a leader

• Redefining success as a mom, business owner, and mentor

• What generational resilience and mentorship taught her about abundance

Assia is proof that building something meaningful doesn’t require perfect timing—it just requires courage, clarity, and a whole lot of heart.
