Sometimes the pivot you didn't choose turns out to be the one that changes everything.

In this episode, I sit down with Taz Rajan, mortgage broker, entrepreneur, and founder of I Know a Girl, a community built to connect and empower female business owners. Taz has lived through more than a few unexpected turns, and she talks about all of it with the kind of honesty that makes you feel a little less alone in your own journey.

We talk about what it actually looks like to rebuild after a career shift you didn't plan for, why giving yourself grace isn't weakness, and how community can become one of the most powerful business assets you have. We also get into the emotional reality of caring for aging parents while building a business, and what separates a good coach from one who actually moves the needle for you.

Taz also shares some straight-talk financial advice that every woman in business should hear.

If you're navigating a transition, questioning whether your next step is the right one, or just need a conversation that reminds you what's possible, this one is worth the listen.
