Ep 1: On Persephone and Pomegranates

2024 was my Year of Terrible. A true Tower year.
Everything that wasn’t built on solid ground came crumbling down, and no matter how much I tried, I couldn’t force my way out of it.

In this first episode of The Midnight Edit, I share how the myth of Persephone helped me understand my own underworld season as an entrepreneur and business owner, and what it taught me about surrender, timing, and navigating periods of deep evolution in business.

This episode is for you if you’re in a quieter, heavier, or more disorienting season and wondering how to keep trusting the process without rushing your way back to the surface.

Inside the episode:

• Reflections on Persephone and how her myth supported me through a difficult business season
• Why we need to normalize underworld phases in entrepreneurship and growth
• What surrender actually looks like when a business is evolving
• Why rushing your spring only delays it
