In this first episode of Crystal Clarity, I’m taking you back to the beginning—not just of this podcast, but of how I completely rebuilt my life from the inside out.
I share the story of walking away from a career in law that looked “successful” on paper but felt completely misaligned—and how discovering stoic philosophy gave me the clarity and courage to start over.
We get into: 🌀 The core values behind Paradox Brands (and why I built it) ⚖️ How stoicism gave me a framework for navigating setbacks 💡 The stoic virtues—wisdom, courage, justice, and self-control—and how they show up in real life and business 📝 Practical ways to get clear on what you actually can control 🔥 Creating a purpose statement that feels magnetic and real
This episode is about finding alignment—not just in your work, but in who you are and how you show up. If you’re in a season of questioning, pivoting, or building something meaningful from scratch, I hope this convo gives you a little clarity (and a lot of calm).
