[Life Update] Lessons from the Long Game: Growth, Strategy, & Finding Your People

Running a business is a long game—and sometimes the biggest growth comes from unexpected shifts. In this episode, I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what’s been happening in my life and business over the last 6- 8 weeks. From navigating financial challenges to discovering new local opportunities, I’m diving into:

Why business growth is a long game—and how I’ve shifted my mindset to embrace it.

The power of local networking—how showing up in person, locally has changed my business.

Balancing fractional work & event strategy—and why both align with my bigger vision.

Setting boundaries in relationships—and why protecting your energy is key.

Why it’s OK to pause, reflect, and recalibrate before making your next move.

This episode is a reminder that business (and life) is not always linear—and that sometimes the best opportunities are closer than you think.
