Walking Away from the Success You've Built: The Art of Making Countercultural Decisions (with Jordan Schanda King)

Some seasons of life don’t ask politely. They rip open the seams of your identity and force you to decide what you’re willing to carry into the next chapter. This episode is about that moment. It’s about the woman you become when the version of you that built your success isn't a fit anymore.

Jordan Schanda King is a serial entrepreneur, author, and former founder of Easy Scaling and Scaling School. She’s built and sold multiple companies, supported hundreds of women in scaling their businesses, and lived most of her working life in the dual roles of visionary and integrator. Somewhere between her second and third child, her ambition shape-shifted, her identity cracked open, and the business she once loved no longer fit. Her decision to sell Easy Scaling at the peak of its success became the catalyst for a full internal reorientation.

This is for anyone who feels the quiet tension of outgrowing the life--and success--they've built. 

Women whose ambition feels different than it used to. 

Mothers who sense they’re changing in ways no one talks about--and in ways they couldn't have predicted.

Jordan’s story is a clean, honest look at identity shapeshifting, trusting your gut, and giving yourself permission to evolve without apology.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • Why identity shifts often show up as confusion, restlessness, or a sudden lack of attachment to work you used to love

  • What really happens emotionally and practically when you sell a business at your peak
