When external forces threaten your business, it can feel like the ground disappears beneath you. In this real, unscripted coaching session, Kareen works with an entrepreneur navigating an unexpected import ban that wiped out inventory and shook confidence overnight.
Together, they unpack how to process the emotional hit without letting it derail leadership, how to lean into resourcefulness when one revenue stream stalls, and why executive stamina matters more than panic in moments like this.
This episode is a powerful reminder that not every setback is a failure, not everything is within your control, and resilient leaders know how to stabilize themselves first so they can keep building the business they’re meant to lead.
