Ep 75: A New Season for McDaniel Nutrition

Episode summary:

Jen reflects on a tender season of transition as she shares the story behind selling McDaniel Nutrition after more than a decade of building it with heart and intention. What began as a small, deeply personal practice is now moving into new hands in a way that still honors the people, values, and care that have always defined it.

Along the way, Jen shares how this decision came together, from early hesitation to a deep sense of trust in the timing and the people involved. She talks about what it means to step back without disappearing, to care for the team who helped build the practice, and to allow the business to continue growing in a way that feels aligned and supportive for everyone.

Favorite Quotes:

“I wasn’t looking for anybody to purchase McDaniel Nutrition because I’m perfectly happy doing what I was doing.”

“There just wasn’t this clinging of a need to have a story of Jennifer very much anymore.”

“I have no resistance to letting go of this whole thing right now. None.”
