    In this episode, I share my personal journey of transformation and empowerment after an unexpected health crisis that dramatically altered my life. It's been seven years since my last podcast episode, and in that time, I faced challenges that forced me to confront truths about my health. Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes during a critical health scare, I recognized that I had been ignoring the signs my body was sending me. This revelation was both humbling and motivational. While reflecting on my hospital experience, I speak about how my condition was a result of years of neglecting the important signals my body was providing. It became clear that ignoring warning signs—whether they appear in health or business—only postpones inevitable crises. I've taken the past five years to rebuild my health through diet, education, and understanding my needs, both physical and entrepreneurial. This journey not only restored my health but also allowed me to refine my vision and voice as a leader in the entrepreneurial space. I am dedicated to serving Gen X entrepreneurs who may feel lost, overwhelmed, or late to the game but still possess the vision and experience to thrive in today's business landscape. This podcast is an invitation to my fellow entrepreneurs, particularly those who are pivoting after significant life events or who are returning to the business world after setbacks. I resonate with those who feel societal pressure to have everything figured out and who are disillusioned by the hustle culture that glorifies grinding and overwhelming work ethics. I emphasize the importance of listening to ourselves—both our bodies and our businesses—instead of conforming to external expectations. My message centers on reclaiming your narrative and using your unique experiences as strengths rather than weaknesses. I also unveil my latest work, "Dear Entrepreneur," a collection of 52 letters filled with love and encouragement designed to support fellow business owners on their journeys. I created a Playbook that includes the ebook, audiobook, journal, and bonus Toolokit avilable as a support for your business journey. This episode marks a renewed commitment to my podcast, where I'll be sharing my real talk content across various platforms to engage and support you wherever you are. Together, we will explore how to navigate the entrepreneurial landscape without compromising our well-being. I invite you to join me on this journey towards embracing our true selves as entrepreneurs. It's a time to give yourself permission to start anew, pivot, and prioritize your well-being while achieving business success. You do not need to prove yourself to anyone; you simply need to believe in your unique value and potential. If you're ready for this journey, let's walk it together, and I encourage you to connect with me for resources that can support you in overcoming your own obstacles in entrepreneurship.
