What do you do when life feels impossible… but your business still needs you?
In this episode, I'm getting honest about something most people never talk about publicly: how to scale your practice when life absolutely sucks. I'm sharing the real mindset shifts, identity work, and business decisions that have helped me keep going—even in seasons where motivation disappears, personal life feels chaotic, and showing up online feels inauthentic. If you've ever felt like you're putting on a mask just to keep your practice running, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.
Together, we'll explore how to use the hardest seasons as catalysts for building a more sustainable business, why intense rest is sometimes the most productive strategy, and the surprising reason you may actually be more likely to hit your goals right now—not less. This heart-to-heart is meant to help you feel seen, supported, and grounded in the truth that your dreams are still possible, even when life is messy.
