What happens when the identity you built your business on… no longer fits?

In this vulnerable and soul-stirring episode, I’m sharing behind the scenes of my evolution from being a self-proclaimed workaholic who tied self-worth to success… to someone who now leads with intention, softness, and self-trust.

You’ll hear how two rounds of burnout (one that led to the ICU), the transformation of motherhood, and deep personal reconnection shifted how I live, lead, and show up in my business.

This episode isn’t just about work-life balance.

It’s about identity.

Presence.

And finally allowing yourself to grow beyond who you were taught to be.

Whether you’re in a season of transition or simply craving a more aligned version of success, this one’s for you.

🧠 Inside this episode:

• How I realized my hustle-driven identity was no longer serving me
• The pivotal moments that made me question everything
• What I’ve learned from slowing down, softening, and choosing peace
• A journaling prompt to support your identity shift
