Why do so many women struggle after a setback?

I know this because I have met many women on my journey — and I have been there too. Let’s be honest: transitions after a setback are emotionally heavy.
- A failed business
- A paused career.
- A broken marriage or relationship.
- Starting again after motherhood.
- Betrayal from a loved one.
These moments can take their toll.

Many women struggle to move forward after setbacks — not because they are lazy, nor because they lack skills or experience. More often than not, it is because of; fear of being judged, shame or carrying guilt, exhaustion from the situation, feeling behind, not knowing the next step to take.

Truth is transition after a setback hits deeply that you may not recognise who you are in this new season. You are robbed of your confidence, your identity is stripped off, you lose direction, your courage is waned.

Transitions are uncomfortable because they force us to redefine ourselves. Transitions demand identity shifts, not just new strategies. And this is where many women get stuck — mentally and emotionally frozen, even when they are more than capable.
Starting again is scary, especially when the world assumes you should have it all figured out. But hear this: Your setback is not your sentence. It is a signal that something is being refined.

Sis, it may be time to reset and move forward. Your setback is not the end. It is a turning point. Your story is not over. This is simply a new chapter.

Your Child Doesn’t Learn Best Alone. They Learn Best With You!

Most parents are told: “Let them struggle.” “They’ll figure it out.” “Don’t interfere too much.”
That advice sounds empowering… but it’s missing something crucial.

Lev Vygotsky (one of the most influential child development theorists) showed us that:
- Children learn best in relationship.
- Not in isolation.
- Not by being left to “figure it out” before they’re ready.

He called it the Zone of Proximal Development:

- The space between what your child can do alone and what they can do with the right support.

This is where real learning happens.
Not when work is:
❌ Too easy (they’re bored)
❌ Too hard (they shut down)
✅ Just right, with a calm adult beside them

Here’s the part schools know but parents don't - till now.

When your child resists homework, melts down over writing or avoids reading… it’s often not laziness.

It’s a sign they’re outside their Zone.
They don’t need pressure.
They need scaffolding.

That means: Sitting with them at the start
- Modelling the first step
- Breaking the task down
- Gradually stepping back as confidence grows
- Support first.
- Independence comes after.

Not the other way round.

This one shift changes everything: Stop asking “Why can’t they do this on their own yet?”
Start asking “What support do they need to do this with me first?”

That’s not over-parenting. That’s developmentally aligned support.
And it protects confidence, motivation and mental health long-term.

If you’re trying to support your child inside a system that expects independence too early… You’re not failing.

You’re noticing the mismatch. 💛

Spending time with students always reminds me why this work matters.

I recently had the opportunity to connect with East Carolina University College of Business students during their time in Miami, and the conversation was both energizing and grounding.

We talked honestly about entrepreneurship not just the wins, but the responsibility that comes with leadership. We discussed what the workplace really looks like beyond graduation, how to think about financial independence early, and why clarity around your values matters just as much as career strategy.

The students asked thoughtful, direct questions about risk, balance, growth, and what it actually takes to build something sustainable. That curiosity is powerful. It tells me the next generation of leaders isn’t just chasing titles — they’re thinking about impact and alignment.

Grateful to Linda Quick and ECU for creating spaces where students can have real conversations with practitioners. Exposure matters. Mentorship matters. And investing in future leaders will always be worth the time.

The future of business is in thoughtful hands.
