In this raw and honest episode, I open up about what the last few weeks have looked like behind the scenes—my mom’s cancer diagnosis and surgery, my dad coming to visit, getting a new puppy from my incredible husband, and kicking off opening day of the Snohomish Farmers Market. It’s been a season of joy, heartbreak, overwhelm, and resilience. If you’ve ever felt like life doesn’t pause just because you’re running a business or leading a community, this one’s for you. Let’s get real about what it means to show up when it’s hard—and why we do it anyway.
