At BossMom, we’re normalizing the conversations that help you grow a business while raising a family. In this episode, Dana opens up about turning 44 and the deep internal work it took to reinvent herself at 40. Through stories of personal loss, business burnout, motherhood challenges, and identity shifts, she shares why reinvention isn’t a trendy self-help concept—it’s a vital evolution for mom entrepreneurs. You’ll hear how she used a unique strategy—embodying her future self through AI coaching—to rediscover purpose, reclaim confidence, and rebuild her business vision for the next decade.

This episode is a raw, empowering journey through grief, growth, and the quiet power of becoming who you were always meant to be.

In this powerful conversation from the BossMom Virtual Retreat, Dr. Shannon Irvine drops a game-changing truth about why you feel stuck in your business—and it’s not what you think.

👉 90% of your actions come from subconscious patterns you didn’t choose.

👉 Your brain is wired for safety, not success.

But the good news? You can rewire it. In this, Shannon explains why your mindset—not your strategy—is often the biggest block to growth, and how brain priming can help you finally move forward with calm, clarity, and confidence.
