1. Leaving Law, Finding Clarity: My Journey to Building Paradox Brands & What Stoicism Taught Me About Branding, Purpose, and Starting Over
Manage episode 478788583 series 3660201
In this first episode of Crystal Clarity, I’m taking you back to the beginning—not just of this podcast, but of how I completely rebuilt my life from the inside out.
I share the story of walking away from a career in law that looked “successful” on paper but felt completely misaligned—and how discovering stoic philosophy gave me the clarity and courage to start over.
We get into:
🌀 The core values behind Paradox Brands (and why I built it)
⚖️ How stoicism gave me a framework for navigating setbacks
💡 The stoic virtues—wisdom, courage, justice, and self-control—and how they show up in real life and business
📝 Practical ways to get clear on what you actually can control
🔥 Creating a purpose statement that feels magnetic and real
This episode is about finding alignment—not just in your work, but in who you are and how you show up. If you’re in a season of questioning, pivoting, or building something meaningful from scratch, I hope this convo gives you a little clarity (and a lot of calm).
