This Thanksgiving hits differently… and I wanted to bring you into the real story behind why. If you had asked me a year ago whether my mom would be sitting at the table celebrating her 76th birthday today, I couldn’t have given you an answer. We prayed. We fought. We almost lost her—twice. And this year forced me to slow down in ways I never expected.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing a message straight from my heart. Not as a business coach. Not as an entrepreneur. But as a daughter navigating one of the hardest seasons of her life.

I talk about what this year taught me about legacy, presence, loss, gratitude, and the truth about building a life you actually want to live—not just a business that looks successful on paper.

This isn’t just a Thanksgiving message.
 It’s a reminder of what matters, what lasts, and what we often forget while we’re chasing goals, growth, and the next milestone.

If you’re in a season of building… or a season of slowing down… or a season of transition… this one is for you.
