Have you been holding on to practices, offers, or even identities that no longer serve you? What if letting go could be the key to growing your business? Are you ready to embrace transformation on your entrepreneurial journey? In this episode, I share heartfelt stories and reflections about the power of endings and the beauty of stepping into a new era, both in business and personal life.

I explore how true transformation requires not just strategic tools and planning, but also an honest look at what needs to end to make space for new beginnings. Through personal experiences of letting go, like moving on from old roles, environments, and even long-standing relationships, I highlight how fully embracing closure can set the stage for genuine growth and fulfillment. I invite you to acknowledge the impact of open tabs in your lives and make room for evolution, both as a leader and as a person.
