In today’s Better Together Podcast, Kelly and Shawn Sundsvold sit down with Tiffany Deans, founder of Grounding Work LLC, to explore what it really looks like to step into entrepreneurship especially when the path isn’t planned.

After a 20-year career in federal HR, Tiffany shares how she transitioned into building her own people-centered business during one of the most uncertain times the COVID-19 pandemic.

What began as a shift quickly turned into a deeper journey of growth, identity, and leadership.

This conversation goes beyond career change.

It highlights the realities of entrepreneurship learning as you go, navigating uncertainty, and building resilience in real time.

Tiffany also shares the importance of aligning with the right clients, setting clear boundaries, and redefining success through work-life integration rather than balance.

A key theme throughout the episode is stepping into leadership authentically even before you feel fully ready and recognizing that growth often comes from situations you didn’t initially plan for.

If you’re navigating a transition, building something of your own, or learning how to lead with more clarity and intention, this episode offers a grounded and honest perspective.
