Episode 018 | When life or business knocks you flat, it’s easy to slip into “Why is this happening to me?” But the shift that changes everything — in entrepreneurship, creativity, and personal growth — is moving from why me to what now.
In this episode, Penelope breaks down the real work of navigating difficulty with clarity and perspective. She shares how setbacks become data, how to emotionally process without getting stuck, and why resilience is one of the most underrated tools for women entrepreneurs, female founders, and anyone building a purpose-driven life or business. You’ll learn the three R’s of any comeback, how to separate your worth from the outcome, and why every detour carries direction if you’re willing to listen.
Plus, a listener Q&A on validating a business idea — and why the strongest validation often comes from conviction, not consensus.
