Epi 61 When Life Interrupts

from Fear It Goes

This week, life interrupted my plans in a way I never expected. After a health challenge involving my son landed us in the hospital for the second time this month, I found myself face-to-face with something every leader eventually encounters: a moment where the usual strategies stop working.

It's tested when everything inside you wants to bolt, cry or fall apart. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or like your usual tools aren't working anymore, this episode is for you.
