Have you ever hit a point in your business where everything should feel amazing… but instead you’re thinking: “Is this really what I want forever?”

That was Robin Ballard. At the time, she had a dream business—thriving event planning company, skilled team, systems in place. But deep down, she knew something else was calling.

She didn’t have all the answers, but she had the courage to ask better questions.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a full-circle moment: Robin stepped away from what was working and launched Curate, a luxury networking experience for wedding professionals—and invited me to speak at her event.

You’ll hear a clip from that keynote, where I talk about reinvention, starting messy, and building a business beyond your first success.

If you’ve ever wondered how to pivot, what comes after success, or whether it’s “too late” to start again—this episode is for you.

You’re not behind. You’re right on time.
