Episode 25 – Twists, Turns, & Derailments: Falling Back In Love With Your Business While Overcoming Personal Hardship
Shannon Kennedy, principle planner at Kennedy Event Planning, believes that the universe has a sense of humour. Every few years, it seems, she is tested. When one piece of the puzzle clicks together, another turns to ashes, creating the constant ebb and flow that ultimately became the foundation for the strong and determined woman she is today.
After a life-altering breakup with $65 in her bank account, Shannon was forced to rebuild her life and find herself in the process. In this episode she shares the raw and real story of how owning a business is a lot like having a long term relationship. She reminds us that success looks different at various stages of adulthood, and only by testing yourself can you grow and evolve into the person you were truly meant to be.
