What does it really take to rewrite your story?
Jaclyn Johnson, Founder & CEO of Create & Cultivate, joins Farryn to unpack the messy, beautiful, and often invisible work of transformation in business and life. From grappling with identity crises after stepping down as CEO, and then returning, to redefining what success means beyond hustle culture, Jaclyn’s journey is a masterclass in owning your boundaries, embracing vulnerability, and learning that sometimes walking away is the boldest act of self-love.
They dive deep into how mentorship, masterminds, and community fuel resilience, why asking for more is a revolutionary act for female entrepreneurs, and how personal challenges born of burnout and divorce can lead to unexpected growth and clarity.
This episode isn’t just about pivoting a business, it’s about pivoting your life with conviction, courage, and a fierce commitment to showing up authentically on your own terms. Because in a world full of noise and pressure, the real success is learning how to define your own rules and find joy in the journey.
