When It's Time to Let Go: The Truth About Closing my 7-Figure Business


Listen Later

In this raw and deeply personal episode, I open up about shutting down my seven-figure consulting business at its peak – and why it was both the hardest and best decision I've ever made.

We're diving into the dark side of 'pushing through' when your business no longer aligns with who you are, the crushing weight of trying to beat the statistics, and the false belief that pivoting will fix everything.

If you're holding onto a business that's successful by everyone's standards but your own, or if you're terrified that changing course means you're failing, this episode is your permission slip to choose yourself.

Includes an important discussion about mental health and entrepreneurship, with resources provided.
