I’ll share a personal moment walking my daughter into kindergarten for the first time and how it symbolized growth in my life and business. You’ll hear about my unconventional partnership with JD, where he’s the primary caretaker and I’m the CEO, and how I’ve built a business that serves my life first.

I’ll also talk about surprising lessons from a sales call, balancing business with personal life, and my plans for 2026. This episode is packed with mindset shifts, behind-the-scenes stories, and actionable tips for your own business journey.
