Why I Closed a 400K Mastermind (and Everything it Taught Me)

In this episode, I’m sharing why I decided to shut down my mastermind, Show Up & Lead — a program that generated over $400K and delivered real results for my clients.

It was successful. It was profitable. And I chose to end it anyway.

Here’s what I break down:

• Why something can “work” on paper and still feel off.

• The difference between momentum and alignment.

• How burnout can show up quietly.

• The questions I asked myself before making the decision.

• What integrity in business actually looks like.

I talk about failure fatigue, mental capacity, and outgrowing a version of your own leadership.

This wasn’t about drama. It wasn’t about revenue. It was about being honest with myself.

If you’re holding onto something because it’s successful — but you know it’s not fully aligned — this episode will help you think through that decision clearly and responsibly.
