How do you keep going when life and business apply relentless pressure?
How do you stay joyful when entrepreneurship feels heavy, exhausting, or overwhelming?

In this episode of Based Business, I sit down with Courtney Hancock, author of My Diamond Within, to explore how pressure doesn’t have to break you, it can refine you.

Courtney shares her deeply personal journey through health challenges, motherhood, entrepreneurship, and faith, and how those experiences shaped her belief that we are refined by pressure, not defined by it.

This conversation is for:

• Entrepreneurs navigating burnout or self-doubt
• Leaders carrying responsibility in silence
• Parents building businesses while holding families together
• Anyone asking, “How do I find joy when life feels heavy?”

In this episode, we discuss:

• How pressure forges stronger leaders instead of breaking them
• Why joy is a choice, not a circumstance
• Finding meaning and purpose in hard seasons
• Leadership through vulnerability and resilience
• How entrepreneurs can endure without losing themselves

If you’re building something meaningful and feeling the weight of it, this episode will give you clarity, perspective, and encouragement to keep moving forward.
