Permission to Be in Process: How One Entrepreneur Chose Reinvention Over Burnout with Stacey Owen

What happens when you've built something successful, but your soul is calling for something bigger? This week, I'm sitting down with Stacey Owen, founder of Hey Silly Rebel and Sacred Money Archetype coach, who made the most courageous decision of her entrepreneurial journey: selling her thriving marketing agency to step into the unknown.

Stacey shares how my Art of Reinvention program helped her navigate this transition with clarity and courage. She talks about being "in the process of being in process," separating your identity from your business success, and why sometimes the scariest question isn't "Can I do this?" but "Is this possible for me?"

Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur feeling called to your next evolution or someone who knows there's something bigger waiting for you, Stacey's story will remind you that reinvention isn't about starting from scratch. It's about honoring who you're becoming.

• [05:11] Stacey's journey from bullied teenager to serial entrepreneur
