Navigating Grief and Running a Business: How Entrepreneurs Can Lead Through Loss with Marsha Earhart

Grief does not pause for business responsibilities. It shows up in the middle of deadlines, decisions, and leadership moments that still require your attention.

In this episode, I sit down with a trauma and grief coach to talk about what grief actually looks like for entrepreneurs and how it impacts leadership, decision making, and team dynamics. We discuss how to navigate personal loss while continuing to run your business and how to support team members who may be going through difficult seasons.

This conversation is both practical and honest, giving you tools to lead with clarity while still honoring the reality of grief.
