What happens when the business owner, the visionary, the go-getter… breaks?

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about navigating the storm of grief while managing the daily demands of running a business and living with ADHD. This isn’t just about loss—it’s about the quiet moments behind closed doors, the missed deadlines, the forgotten tasks, the emotional overwhelm, and the radical courage it takes to lead through pain.

You’ll hear about:

• How grief impacts decision-making, motivation, and focus
• ADHD and executive dysfunction under emotional distress
• The Dual Process Model of Grief and how it applies to entrepreneurship
• Using Maslow’s Hierarchy, the Window of Tolerance, and Self-Compassion Theory to rebuild
• Real-world tools for showing up in business when your energy is at zero
• What it means to create a grief-aware, human-first business culture

Whether you’re in the thick of loss, supporting someone who is, or simply feeling overstretched in your own leadership journey, this episode is a reminder that you don’t have to be perfect to keep going—you just have to be present.
