In this raw and vulnerable episode, I'm unpacking the biggest lessons from my last year - from using grief to heal my relationship with my immigrant mom, to finally breaking free from toxic "grow at all costs" hustle culture. We'll dive deep into why nonstop growth is killing our businesses (only viruses and cancer grow without rest), and how learning to embrace "enoughness" completely transformed both my business and personal relationships. If you're tired of the pressure to constantly scale and ready to build a more intentional, human-centered business, this conversation is for you.

5 Crucial Lessons Every Small Business Owner Needs for Success

• Embrace grief as a stepping stone for growth in your business journey.
• Build trust by listening and caring, not just solving problems.

• Let your authenticity shine through; customers can sense your energy.

Boost your small business success with these simple, sustainable strategies: turn challenges into growth, listen actively, focus on meaningful goals, trust the process, and let your authenticity guide customer connections. Make your business thrive while staying true to your values!
