Have you ever felt guilty about stepping back from your business commitments, even when you know you're making the right choice for yourself or your family? How do you handle that tension between professional obligations and personal needs?
In this heartfelt episode of Simplify to Scale, I open up about a period of personal and professional upheaval following my dad’s health crisis and passing. I share how these life events interrupted my routines and forced me to step back from my business, including my long-standing podcast and other commitments. This experience offered unexpected lessons in letting go of guilt, confronting changes, and redefining what matters most, both in business and life.
I reflect on the difficult but necessary process of pausing commitments and how it has sparked important conversations with clients and peers. Many entrepreneurs are feeling drawn to make changes in their businesses, whether that’s stepping back from a program, reimagining team structures, or shifting away from social media. I talk about the very real feelings of guilt and fear that come with these decisions, while highlighting the importance of giving ourselves permission to evolve and pursue what feels aligned.
