WHEN COURAGE LOOKS LIKE LETTING GO
A Final Reflection on Entrepreneurship, Identity, and Change
Six years ago, I took a leap. I built something from the ground up—first as a consultant, then as a speaker, a therapist, and a coach. I said yes to entrepreneurship without knowing exactly where it would lead, and I’m incredibly proud of what I built.
Now, I’m choosing something new.
To create more stability for my family, I’ve accepted a full-time role outside of my business. This means closing most of the operations at Fisk Solutions. I’ll continue seeing a small number of clients, but otherwise, this chapter is coming to a close.
This decision didn’t come quickly. For a long time, my identity was wrapped in being an entrepreneur. I loved the freedom, creativity, meaningful work, and incredible relationships. But it also came with the constant weight of responsibility—the quiet pressure of always being the one to carry it all. And for a long time, I have.
While choosing stability means giving up some autonomy, I’m gaining what I truly need right now: rhythm, predictability, breathing room, and a new way to show up for my kids, my wife, and myself.
Grief and relief live side by side in this transition. I’ll miss the freedom of running my own company, but I won’t miss the sleepless nights or relentless to-do lists. I’ll miss the creative partnership and wide-open possibilities, but I welcome the grounding structure ahead.
Stepping away from something I built with my whole heart doesn’t mean I failed. It means I’m listening to what life is asking of me now—and responding with the same courage it took to begin.
If you’ve followed my work, partnered with me, or sat across from me in a session, thank you. Your trust has been foundational in Fisk Solutions’ success. It’s been an honor to be part of your story and to let you into mine.
Going forward, my values remain the same—even if the shape is changing. I believe that people can heal, that vulnerability is the key to healthy relationships, and that the heart of life is good. And sometimes, the right thing is also the hard thing. And even then, it’s still the right thing.
