At the height of her success, Jane Pak sat down on New Year's Day and asked herself what she might be missing. A year later she found out, and it eventually cost her the company she'd built.

What happens when the role you've built your life around ends almost overnight?

Jane spent nearly 20 years as a President, CEO, and Chair of Pooph, building one of the fastest-growing odor eliminator brands in the country. When a series of crises ended in foreclosure, she faced a decision about what she was worth, with two hours to make it. A few months later she started sharing what she'd learned on Instagram, and tens of thousands of people started listening.

In this conversation, Jane shares the mental shift that helped her make the hardest call of her career, why she stopped trying to prove her value, and how she now helps others spot the quiet stories that keep them small.

It's a conversation about identity, starting over, and trusting what you already know.
