Sometimes life demands our full attention, and that's okay. In this heartfelt episode of The Seasoned Entrepreneur, Vanessa opens up about taking an unexpected month-long break from the podcast after losing her 95-year-old mother. She shares why giving yourself grace during life's challenges isn't a sign of entrepreneurial weakness—it's a sign of wisdom.
In this episode, you'll discover:
- Why the "always-on" entrepreneur mentality is harmful and unrealistic
- How to create a "life happens" protocol for your business
- The importance of communicating transparently with your audience during difficult times
- How to redefine productivity during crisis and personal challenges
- Why your humanity is an asset, not a liability, in your entrepreneurial journey
If you've ever felt guilty about putting your business on pause for family, health, or personal matters, this episode is for you. Vanessa reminds us that seasons of rest are not seasons of failure, and that building a business that honors your humanity is the truest form of success.
Listen now and give yourself permission to be beautifully, imperfectly human. 🎧
