How do you keep your business afloat, support your clients, lead your community, and stay human when life collapses in one single moment?
In this raw and deeply practical episode of The Savvy Leader Podcast, I share the day everything changed — July 14, 2022 — when a phone call informed me my husband had been airlifted from a motorcycle crash. Overnight, I became a crisis commander running four businesses, advocating in a Level 5 trauma center, and holding my entire world together with sheer grit, systems, and leadership.
This isn't a story about tragedy. This is a story about leadership in crisis, decision-making under pressure, and how to run a business when life demands everything you have.
You'll learn:
✔ How to instantly re-prioritize when the unexpected hits ✔ What business owners MUST do in the first 72 hours of a crisis ✔ How to communicate with clients so they stay loyal and understanding ✔ How to delegate, document, and stabilize your operations ✔ Why cutting obligations is not failure—it's leadership ✔ The systems that helped me keep real estate, marketing, networking, and a contracting business alive ✔ How to protect your energy and create clarity when your brain is overwhelmed ✔ What this crisis revealed about my identity as a leader
If you're an entrepreneur, leader, community builder, or someone who has ever continued showing up through heartbreak, this episode will speak to you.
