"I broke down after mowing the lawn. Not because I was tired—but because of what it represented."
When I became a single mom, mowing the lawn became one of the most emotionally exhausting tasks of my life. Not because it was hard physically. But because it was new, unfamiliar, and loaded with stress I didn't expect.
Change does that. Even simple things can feel like mountains.
In this episode of the Business Building Blocks Podcast, we unpack:
- Why most change efforts fail without one crucial step
- The hidden emotional toll your team faces during transitions
- And how to lead with empathy, not just execution
This isn’t just about strategy—it’s about support.
If you lead a team, manage a household, or are navigating personal change—this one’s for you.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
