Closing a Business, Pivoting & Parenting After Divorce - Nicola Pheiffer, Part 2

Loading player...
Two years after our first conversation, Nicola Pheiffer returns for one of the most honest chats we’ve had on the podcast. Life looks very different now — motherhood after divorce, closing Simply Granola, and pivoting into her new venture, Oh Ship. We go behind the scenes of what it really takes to scale a business while navigating personal change, and how Nicola finds the stamina to keep showing up.

We also dive into the raw questions most people don’t ask:
• How do you reset when everything feels overwhelming?
• Do you have an addictive personality?
• What’s your default when it comes to self-sabotage?

This is a vulnerable, unfiltered look at resilience, reinvention, and the messy middle of building both a business and a life you love.
