Building a business is hard enough… but what happens when life hits you with heartbreak in the middle of it?

In this episode of Rebel CEO Podcast, Breeanna sits down with life, love, and leadership coach Arneen Ahsan, creator of the Thriving Love Method, for a raw conversation about relationships, grief, and what it really looks like to keep showing up for your dreams when your heart hurts.

Because women building businesses aren’t just CEOs… they’re humans navigating real life, real loss, and real emotions behind the scenes.

In this conversation, Bree and Arneen unpack the emotional realities of modern dating, heartbreak, and why grief can actually become one of the biggest catalysts for personal growth and business evolution.

They also dive into the hidden pressures female entrepreneurs feel to “keep it together,” even when life feels like it’s falling apart.
