465 - Starting Over After Losing the Life You Imagined (I'm Back)

As solopreneurs, so much of what we build is deeply personal. Our businesses are often born from the gaps in our own stories. In this solo episode, I reflect on the recent death of my father and the quiet grief that followed for the connection we never fully had. It made me confront how much of my business drive was rooted in fear and pain. This isn't a business episode in the traditional sense, but it's a human one. If you've ever built something to feel safe, seen, or in control, I think you'll find something here. In this episode, I talk about: How grief can show up as ambition, productivity, or perfectionism Why many founders build strong brands from unresolved pain The hidden costs of being self-reliant for too long What it looks like to love someone through action, not nostalgia How to keep creating when the story doesn't end neatly CONNECT WITH ME Website Instagram TikTok X (Twitter) LinkedIn Facebook
