119: Why I Disappeared for 2 Years (And What Finally Brought Me Back)

from Finally Fearless · host Kelli France

After building a top 1% podcast with 100K+ downloads and hundreds of 5-star reviews… I disappeared.No warning. No explanation. Just… gone.In this episode, I’m sharing the real story behind my 2-year hiatus—and it’s not what you think.Within days of my last episode, my life completely unraveled: I lost 97% of my income overnight My million-dollar business and community were suddenly gone  Three of my four kids left home  We moved states and I felt like I lost my identity… again And for the first time in a long time, I couldn’t hide behind “busy.”I had to face the hardest question of all:    Who am I… without the titles, the success, or the people who need me?What I discovered changed everything.Not just for me, but for the hundreds of women I now coach.Because the thing that kept me from coming back wasn’t my circumstances.    It was perfectionism.Not the obvious kind but the kind that tells you: “Start later”  “Wait until you’re ready”  “Do it when everything is perfect” And before you know it…later turns into years.If you’ve been stuck in overthinking, delaying, or waiting for the “right time”... this episode will hit home.I’m sharing how I found my way back, what helped me stop hiding, and why I’m finally showing up again… imperfectly.Because the world doesn’t need more perfect women.    It needs more unapologetic ones.If this episode resonates, share it with a friend or come join my community. And if you’re ready to break up with perfect and finally follow through, check out my Breaking Up with Perfect program: https://tinyurl.com/kellifranceLet’s do this...messy, imperfect, and finally DONE.Send us Fan Mail
