Grief doesn’t send a calendar invite. In this episode, I’m coming to you raw and vulnerable, sharing a deeply personal journey through one of the hardest seasons of my life. Over the past four months, I lost two of my grandparents—one just a week ago. Through these losses, I learned the real power of building a business and a podcast that supports your life when life asks you to pause.
I'm not here today with a polished plan or the perfect message. I’m here as a reminder that being prepared doesn’t mean being perfect—it means creating space for life to happen.
Here’s what I want you to take away:
- Why every creator and entrepreneur needs an episode bank—and how to start yours.
- How to prepare your content strategy for unexpected life events.
- What it really means to build a business (and podcast) that honors life, not just hustle.
