What looks like the ultimate win on paper—wealth, freedom, achievement—often leaves founders facing something far more confronting: a loss of identity, purpose, and direction. Sherry shares how many entrepreneurs quietly experience depression, relationship breakdowns, and deep existential questioning at the very moment they expected fulfillment. When the business that once structured your days and defined who you are disappears, the question becomes unavoidable: Who am I now—and what actually matters? About the Guest Sherry Walling is a clinical psychologist, speaker, and co-author of Exit Strategy, a book that explores the emotional and psychological impact of selling a business.
