What remains when the house burns down, the business is lost, and the identity you built no longer exists? My conversation with Lisa Odenweller, Founder & CEO of Kroma Wellness, is a masterclass in navigating seasons of change and how to rebuild trust in yourself after loss. We go deep beyond the strategies and into who she had to become in the process of creating 2 of the hottest wellness brands over the last decade as a single mother, losing her dream home in the Palisades fire, and reconnecting with her creativity and softness as a high-achieving woman. By the end of this episode, you'll discover how to choose compassion, forgiveness, and healing for yourself when life tests you to the breaking point.
