✨ What if getting fired was the best thing that could have happened to you? ✨
I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Samantha Guthrie, and let me tell you—this conversation is for every woman who’s ever felt burned out, stuck, or unsure of her next step. Samantha’s story is powerful. After being fired from her job, she and her husband took a leap of faith into entrepreneurship. But the journey wasn’t just about building a business—it was about redefining success, learning to let go of the hustle mentality, and embracing the beauty of being over doing.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re running on empty, constantly chasing the next achievement, or struggling to balance business and life (especially if you work with your spouse!), you are not alone. Samantha and I unpack the hard lessons, the mindset shifts, and the freedom that comes when we stop striving and start living.
💡 Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode:
🔥 How getting fired became the best thing that ever happened to Samantha
🔥 Recognizing burnout before it steals your joy (and your health)
🔥 The challenges and blessings of working with your spouse
🔥 Why your being matters more than your doing
🔥 How to define success on your terms—not society’s
This episode is filled with wisdom, laughter, and heart-to-heart encouragement that I know will speak to you. So grab your coffee, hit play, and let’s dive in.
