You’re doing the CEO work, but inside, you’re still hurting. You lead with strength, but grief has a way of creeping in when no one sees it.

In this episode, Niesia Garza, LCSW, founder of Daniel’s Harbor, shares how she’s built a practice out of her pain. She walks us through the raw loss of her son, how she continues to carry that in her leadership, and what it truly means to lead while healing. If you’re navigating deep seasons but still trying to show up for your business, this one’s for you.

Niesia Garza, LCSW, is a licensed therapist and the founder/CEO of Daniel’s Harbor Therapy Center in Florida. She turned the devastating loss of her two‑year‑old son into a mission‑driven practice that creates safe, judgment‑free space for families navigating traumatic grief.
