From Grief to Growth: The Question My Dad Asked That Changed Everything

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

Six years ago, at my dad’s wake, I kept hearing his voice ask me a single, haunting question:

'What will your legacy be?'

That question changed the trajectory of my life. Two weeks later, I incorporated my business - not because I had it all figured out, but because I didn’t want fear to dictate my future.

Today I honor my dad's 6th death anniversary with this week’s podcast, From Grief to Growth: How My Dad’s Words Shape My Business and how he continues to guide me.

I share:

  • The five pieces of wisdom my dad left me (and how I use them daily in business).
  • Why 'more haste, less speed' is the mantra that keeps me grounded when life feels chaotic.
  • How to move forward even when you don’t feel ready and why patience is a business strategy.

Building a business as a working mom is messy. But the legacy you’re creating isn’t about waiting until 65. It’s being written in the way you show up today - for yourself, your kids, and your future.

Have you ever written a LinkedIn post, felt good about it, then suddenly your chest tightens, your mind races, and you quietly close the app? You tell yourself, 'This is silly. It’s just LinkedIn.' But your body feels like you’re about to step on stage in front of 10,000 people. In this week’s podcast episode, I break down why that happens and what you can do about it. This isn’t about algorithms or content tricks. It’s about the psychology behind your fear of being seen. Your Brain Is Wired...

Over the years in HR, I’ve noticed something. It’s often the smartest, most capable women in the room who stay the quietest. They have the ideas, see the problems before anyone else and know how to make things better. But when it’s time to speak up in a meeting, ask for what they want, or show up on LinkedIn, they stay silent. Not because they’re weak, don’t care or that they’re not good enough. They stay silent because being seen doesn’t feel safe. Why smart women stay silent In this week’s...
