In this episode, I share the highs and lows of a challenging year marked by burnout, personal struggles, and difficult choices. From stepping back from running my business full-time and restructuring it entirely, I’ve learned that true growth often requires embracing discomfort. Through moments that felt like breaking points, I’m discovering how these “growing pains” are actually shaping me into a more resilient and better version of myself. Join me as I reflect on how discomfort can be a powerful guide on the path to transformation, and hopefully, inspire you to see your own struggles as essential steps toward growth.
