Grief, Survival & Why I Had to Rethink Everything

There are moments in life that change you—moments that split your world into before and after. Grief does that. It strips everything down to its core, forcing you to ask: What really matters?

In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing a story I never thought I could tell. This isn’t just about loss—it’s about what comes after it. It’s about survival, rebuilding, and how grief reshaped my entire approach to life, faith, and execution.

I’ll take you inside my journey of losing my sister, the weight of all she never got to do, and how it made me rethink everything. I’ll share how grief slowed me down, forced me to confront what I was running from, and taught me that follow-through isn’t about pushing through—it’s about creating a life you don’t have to escape from.

If you’re in a season of grief, transition, or just trying to find your way back to yourself, I want you to know—you’re not alone. You will breathe again. You will move again. And you don’t have to rush the process.
