What do you do when life doesn’t go according to plan?

In this episode of Just Make It Pretty, I’m joined by Abby Cornelius, Director of Sales at Stanley Martin Homes, keynote speaker, podcast host, comeback coach, and working mom. Abby’s story is one of resilience, adaptability, and redefining what it means to “have it all.”

We talk about:
✨ How to turn rejection into redirection
✨ Abby’s “Slingshot Method” for resilience
✨ Balancing career and motherhood in homebuilding
✨ Finding joy and presence, even in chaos
✨ Practical tools to move forward when you’re in the middle of a setback

Abby’s journey through infertility, entrepreneurship, and corporate leadership has given her a unique perspective: setbacks aren’t dead ends, they’re setups for something greater.

If you’re facing a “no” right now or simply need encouragement to keep going, this episode will remind you that your most powerful chapter may be just ahead.
