I Turned 40, Gave Away Everything & Started Over: Here’s Why

The 3 Systems That Rebuilt My Business (and My Nervous System)

You’re not broken.

But the way you’re running your business might be.

Six months before I turned 40, I burned out, hard.

I gave away nearly everything I owned, moved countries with no backup plan, and rebuilt my entire life from the ground up.

No spreadsheets. No 12-step plan.

Just a deep knowing:

If I didn’t change everything, I’d break.

In this kickoff episode of Smooth Sailing™, I’m sharing the 3 systems that rebuilt my business, my body, and my bandwidth.
