111: What I Learned From a Chaotic 3 Weeks Where it Felt Like Everything was Going Wrong

Hey Shine & Thrivers! Welcome back to another episode. This week we’re doing things a little differently...

Instead of sharing business tips or strategies with an awesome guest (more of that soon!), this week I wanted to open up about 3 very challenging and chaotic weeks I recently experienced.

My hope is that by sharing my struggles and how I overcame them, it might shift your mindset to see solutions or coping strategies you may not have considered before and help you with whatever you might be going through right now...

So no “learning” in the traditional sense this week, but plenty of lessons from the school of hard knocks (aka life)!

Tune in to discover…

What happened when we were ghosted by our home renovators in my third trimester of pregnancy and how we dealt with it
The unexpected turn of events that led to us welcoming another (!) family and their newborn and 17-month-old into our home for 2.5 weeks (and the challenges that entailed…)
What happened when my health quickly took a turn amidst all of this (with wedding bookings coming up!) and the mantras and coping strategies that got me through it and out the other side
Important questions to ask yourself to reframe challenging situations when you’re in the thick of it (if you take anything from this episode, let it be these!)

Thanks for listening, as ever, your support means the world to me <3. If this episode helped you in any way, be sure to let me know on IG!
