What happens when grief forces you to stop performing and face who you really are underneath all the roles you've been playing?**

In this raw, honest conversation, I sit down with Sheree Hartwell, owner of Ford/Robert Black Agency, to talk about something we both know intimately: how loss changes everything - including the masks we wear and the lives we perform for others.

Sheree started modeling at 12 and eventually bought her own agency, but this isn't just another "success story." We dive deep into the grief that strips away all pretense, the identity crisis that hits when you realize you've been living for everyone else's approval, and what it's really like to build a career in an industry where your worth depends on other people's opinions.

**We get real about:**
✨ How anticipated loss creates a different kind of grief that nobody talks about
✨ The brutal reality of raising kids in a social media world where comparison is constant
✨ Why rejection hits so hard when your self-worth depends on other people's validation
✨ What it's really like behind the scenes of an industry built on external approval
✨ How to find joy and authenticity when your whole world has been about performing

If you've ever felt like you're living someone else's life, if you're exhausted from being what everyone needs you to be, or if you're navigating grief while trying to hold it all together - this conversation will make you feel less alone.
