How Grief Changed the Way I Run My Business
Description
Grief isn’t something most of us plan for when we map out our businesses, but it will change you, and by default, your business too.
In this episode, I open up about losing both of my parents within a year and the ripple effects grief had on me as a CEO, business owner, and human. I’m not sugarcoating it—grief is messy, unpredictable, and permanent. But I also share how I navigated those darker seasons, how I adjusted my business when I had no capacity for “growth mode,” and what it looks like to run a business alongside grief today.
Whether you’re in the thick of anticipatory grief, have lost someone, or simply want to understand how grief impacts entrepreneurs, I hope this episode helps you feel less alone.
In this episode, you'll hear…
- Why anticipatory grief can feel invisible and misunderstood
- The way grief changed my identity—and how that shows up in my business
- How I made decisions in my business when I had zero bandwidth
- The role of steadiness (not hustle) in navigating tough seasons
- Why grief doesn’t go away, but how I’ve learned to live and work with it
