Shortly after creating a virtual assistant & OBM agency, tragedy struck when Maddie Hunt suddenly lost her brother. In her understanding of grief and inner turmoil, Maddie knew exactly how to hold Amber’s hand and help her navigate life after sudden loss. In this deep and personal episode, we demystify this weird expectation that we’re only allowed to grieve for a year (because how f*cked up is that?!). We talk about blurred boundaries as business owners and how to avoid trauma dumping when we’re grief-stricken.
If you’re a business owner, you’ll definitely want to tune in! It’s possible to find a balance between doing things that bring you joy and caring for your grief or loss, all while running a sustainable and ethical business. Have faith and be brave about asking for what you need.
