After a life-altering health crisis, Kimberly transitioned from a 16-year academic career into entrepreneurship as a chronically ill single mother, navigating uncertainty, cultural expectations, and the realities most people avoid discussing. This episode challenges the “just start” narrative and dives into transformation, decision-making, mentorship, and the balance between vision and execution.
