When You Feel Like Giving Up: How to Rebuild Your Business After a Setback
What happens when your body says “no” to your best-laid business plans? In this raw and reflective episode, Jessica shares the story of having to cancel her biggest event due to illness—and how it became the catalyst for building a more sustainable business.

How to navigate the grief and guilt of canceling a major business event due to chronic illness
The four key phases of rebuilding after a setback (Reality Check, Reset, Rebuild, and Resilience)
How to apply the 4Ps Framework (Prioritize, Pace, Pivot, Peace) to recover and rebuild
Why traditional business models often fail those with unpredictable energy—and what to do instead
A simple, powerful journaling exercise to clarify your next sustainable steps
✍️ Gentle Reflection Prompt

Prioritize: List your current health non-negotiables
Pace: Define your honest energy rhythm right now
