Running a business isn’t always smooth sailing—setbacks happen, and they can hit hard. Yet the stories we’re often told—about the “hockey stick” growth, seamless comebacks, and bounce backs that look easy—are lies that society tells us. This week, I’m laying bare the realities behind my two-year journey from major business and life changes to a place of greater alignment and purpose.

Whether you’re facing a dip in business, struggling with life transitions, or just wondering if it’s possible to truly “have it all,” my experience offers not only support for others going through similar things but also a blueprint for rebuilding on your own terms.

Topics Covered In This Episode:

  1. Setbacks are not the end: I share about experiencing a 50% revenue drop after having my second child, and how this did not signal failure but a chance to bounce back and realign my business and life.
  2. Structure your business around your life, not the other way around: I emphasize building a business that supports the kind of life you want to live, including time for family, personal health, and joy.
  3. Hard choices lead to better alignment: Making tough decisions, like shutting down my original membership program despite its community and revenue, allowed me to align my business with my values and reduce burnout.
  4. Invest in yourself, even when it’s scary. Remember to embrace financial challenges and view them as growth opportunities.
  5. Support and community matter a lot: Being surrounded by people who are doing big things inspires and helps you get through challenging times.
  6. Small, boring actions beat flashy moves: There is no overnight success. The unsexy, repetitive actions create sustainable results.
  7. You can have both a thriving business and a fulfilling family life: My journey is proof that with clarity, boundaries, and aligned business models, you can be both an engaged parent and a successful entrepreneur.
