Summary

What do you do when grief knocks and you still have a business to run? In this episode, Jamie Sea shares how she navigates loss while leading a multimillion-dollar brand: what changed, what she stopped doing, and the quiet systems that kept sales moving without forcing her to overextend.

You’ll hear the difference between “powering through” and actually processing emotions; why her content routine is as neutral as brushing her teeth; and how she built passive funnels so revenue isn’t tied to her being “on” 24/7.

If you’re carrying something heavy and still showing up for clients, this episode offers practical tools and permission to go low-lift while you take care of the most important asset in your company: you.

0:00.0	Grief is going to be demanding your attention. It's going to be demanding that it's felt and seen and witnessed.
0:07.7	I want to share with you a little bit of the behind the scenes of how I navigate grief while running a multimillion dollar business.
0:14.5	When it comes to grief, it's not just the grief of losing someone in our lives, which a lot of us have experienced.
0:21.6	And it also comes down to grief of losing parts of ourselves, having to say goodbye to parts
0:26.6	of ourselves, and also maybe loss of relationships.
0:30.6	And in this process, I think one of the most challenging things is not being able to recognize
0:36.6	in the moments of grief how much it actually
0:39.1	requires of you. And when you're in business and you're doing all of the pieces, right,
0:45.5	managing the vision in the actual process of marketing and all the pieces, grief is going to come up
0:52.8	and it's going to say, hi, I want space now. I want
0:56.4	you now in the process of trying to run your business. And for me personally, the grief has

1:10.3	He was 44 years old and witnessing my

1:20.9	of actually going through this grief was tremendously different than going through the grief
1:26.6	of when I lost my brother,
1:28.0	who was in his 40s when we lost him.
1:31.1	And when we lost my brother, Scott, I was not necessarily running my own business,
