What happens when your perfectly planned vacation gets turned upside down? In this episode, I share the story of my three‑week trip to Lakeside, Ohio — a place that usually brings me peace, clarity, and joy — and how this time, everything went differently than expected.
From juggling three generations under one roof to two unexpected hospitalizations, the trip became a real‑time lesson in flexibility, leadership, and the power of letting go.
I explore why expectations can set us up for disappointment, in life and business, and what it means to focus instead on the essence of what we want. If you've ever had a plan fall apart (and let's be honest, who hasn't?), this episode will help you reframe, refocus, and find the joy in what's still possible.
In this episode, I talk about:
The difference between expectations and intentions
How rigid plans break under pressure
What it looks like to "salvage the wins"
Why joy often lives in the in-between moments
How to lead through disruption with flexibility and grace
