Tune in as my good friend, Ashley Sutton, and I sit down to talk about a story that started with loss and ended somewhere far more transformative than either of us expected.
Two fathers gone, two women who left home to build something and one conversation about what happens when life calls you back. This conversation is not about pretending the pain didn't happen, it's about telling the truth about what coming home really costs and what it quietly gives back.
Ashley shares what led her to leave New York City, the moment grief made the decision for her, and what it meant to show up for her mother while still running a business and mourning two losses in less than two years. We talk about the loneliness that nobody warns successful women about, the kind that finds you in your childhood bedroom surrounded by people who no longer recognize who you've become.
I share what it was like to move back home, become pregnant while grieving and sober for the first time, feeling everything I had spent years numbing. We unpack why going home isn't regression, why your awakening often lives inside your most unbearable chapter, and why the women who seem to have it all are sometimes the loneliest people in the room.

โข What it really means when life calls you home
โข How grief can become the gateway to your purpose
โข Why successful women struggle most with belonging
โข What healing actually looks like inside a business
โข How to check in with yourself before burnout checks you out
This is not a conversation about bouncing back, it's a conversation about going inward, honoring your pain, and building something real on the other side of loss.
If you've ever felt like a stranger in the place that made you. If you've ever had to choose between your dreams and your family. If you've ever wondered whether going home means giving up.
