From Toilets to Team Drama: The Messy Side of Entrepreneurship

from The Expanded Life Podcast · host danielleroach

Everyone thinks being a CEO is glamorous—the money, the freedom, the wins you see on Instagram. But the truth? Business is messy. Sometimes it feels like everything is breaking at once… and we’ve been there.   In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on some of the craziest “shitstorms” we’ve faced while running and growing our clinics—literal plumbing disasters, office manager drama (weed girl, cry girl, and more), parking lot meltdowns, and the year FIVE of our team members (including Danielle!) all got pregnant at once.   It hasn’t been pretty, but each challenge has made us stronger leaders and more resilient entrepreneurs. We’re sharing these stories with plenty of laughs, a little vulnerability, and the mindset shifts that kept us moving forward.   If you’ve ever felt like business is kicking your ass, this episode is proof you’re not alone—and that you can come out the other side even stronger.   So grab your headphones and get ready for some real, raw stories (with a side of humor) from The Expanded Life.
