Your darkest chapter does not have to define the life you build next.
In this episode of ICONIC, Jennifer Leigh is joined by Emily O’Brien, founder of Comeback Snacks, for a powerful conversation about second chances, entrepreneurship, accountability, and turning adversity into purpose.
Together, they explore how Emily transformed one of the darkest periods of her life into the foundation for a bright, purpose-driven business, what it means to rebuild after everything changes, and why our hardest experiences can become part of the story without becoming our identity.
In this conversation, you’ll hear:
• How a trip to St. Lucia changed Emily’s life overnight
• The moment she decided prison would not be the end of her story
• How making popcorn in prison inspired the idea for Comeback Snacks
• Why Emily used her time inside to study business, build relationships, and prepare for her future
• What accountability, forgiveness, and second chances have taught her about rebuilding a life
