Ep 7.20 - Listener Reply | How to Get Ready for Change

In this listener-response episode, Kiné Corder coaches a business owner who knows they’ll need to close their business within six months. She walks through how to separate emotional attachment from financial realities, explore all practical options (closing now, scaling, selling, or condensing hours), and prepare mentally and financially for what’s next. Using visualization and mindset tools, she helps listeners build trust in themselves, embrace change, and move from shame and guilt toward relief, confidence, and a new vision for their future.
