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.

In this powerful episode of [Your Podcast Name], I sit down with David Medansky, former divorce attorney turned bestselling author and health strategist, who took a life-or-death warning and turned it into a life-changing mission.

At age 61, David’s doctor gave him a 95% chance of having a fatal heart attack. Instead of giving up, he decided to fight back — not with crash diets or costly programs, but with practical, sustainable lifestyle changes. The result? He lost 50 pounds in 4 months and kept it off — no surgery, no starvation, and absolutely no shame.

🧠 In this conversation, you’ll learn:

• The 9 simple habits David used to reverse his weight gain
• How to reject toxic diet culture and reclaim your power
• Why most weight loss programs are designed to keep you stuck
• What it really takes to live longer, feel better, and take control of your health

If you’ve ever struggled with weight, felt betrayed by your body, or been overwhelmed by diet noise — this episode will empower you to take action, without guilt or gimmicks.
