We’ve been away for a while. This episode is a tender return- one that holds space for grief, stillness, and the kind of pause that rearranges you. We share a deeply personal season and the quiet reflections it stirred- because sometimes, the most important work happens when nothing seems to be happening.
For any founder navigating transition- personal or professional- this is your invitation to notice the moments that change you, not just the business. The ones that sharpen your stride and clarify your why. Take a breath. Sit with us by the fire- and if you’re looking for a space to process the becoming journey with others who get it, plug into a founder circle at Komini.
