In this personal episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on a time in my life that was full of transitions, decisions, and, yes, some tropical sunsets too. I’ll be sharing the journey of planning my maternity leave while nurturing the growth of my brand and business.

I remember grappling with the bittersweet decision to step away from my marketing agency—a business I poured my heart into. And if that wasn’t enough of a sea change, my husband and I packed up our lives and set our sights on the lush landscapes of Costa Rica, embracing a whole new way of living.

With the move, I was met with unexpected challenges, from language barriers (for my husband and daughter) to setting up a new home office that could function as the hub for my global mentoring and consultancy work. It was a test of adaptability and resolve, not just for me, but also for my husband, who had taken the brave leap to leave his job during this period of upheaval.

You might think that this whirlwind of change would slow down my stride, but the opposite happened. I discovered new depths of resilience and new strategies to succeed. My clients didn’t just stick around; they thrived, contributing to a period of significant success.

So how did I manage all this? How did I navigate preparing maternity leave, a business, and a move abroad? Well, tune into the episode, and I’ll dive into the strategies that kept me and my business thriving even as my personal world was turning upside down. Whether you’re a parent-to-be, a business owner, or someone facing a big life change, there are gems in this story for you.
