In today’s episode, I speak with an entrepreneur navigating a major life transition after closing a salon business she spent 13 years building and ending a long-term relationship in the same season. We discuss the fear that comes with leaving behind an identity tied to past success, the challenge of facing uncertainty, and the mindset shift from seeing setbacks as losses to viewing them as opportunities for expansion. I share why pain can serve as valuable feedback, how difficult seasons often point us toward growth, and why healing starts within. We also explore purpose-driven work, community impact, and the power of connecting with others during times of change.
