You built, you sold...and it doesn't feel the way you thought it would.
Nobody warns you about the Emotional Aftermath of an exit, let alone prepares you for it.
I help successful entrepreneurs like you navigate the often-overlooked and misunderstood emotional challenges of an exit, guiding you through the disorientation you didn't see coming, so you can regain your footing, rediscover who you are beyond your business, and step into your next chapter with clarity, confidence and purpose.
What no one tells you is that selling your business doesn’t only add to your bank account—it can also take away the structure, identity, community, and purpose that defined your life. And in its place? A void you never saw coming.
You weren’t expecting this part. No one does. And let’s be honest, there’s not a lot of empathy for what you’re feeling, is there? After all, with so much success, what is there to struggle with?
But here’s the truth: With everything you gained, you also lost something. And what you’re feeling right now—the disorientation, the emptiness, that gnawing sense that something is missing—is a natural response to losing something that was deeply woven into who you are.
Believe it or not, this natural response is a grief response.
There is nothing wrong with you. You’re experiencing a transition few people understand—one that often goes unrecognized and therefore unaddressed. And because of that, the struggle lasts longer than it has to. If left unresolved, it can erode your peace, damage your health and relationships, and lead to costly decisions and unnecessary regrets.
You may never have imagined that success could include grief—but you're not alone, and there is a path forward. Gaining clarity about what you're feeling and how to resolve it is more than helpful—it’s emotional insurance. It protects your most valuable asset: your well-being.

What Is Grief After Success?
Selling your business was a gain—but it was also a loss, And that has unexpected impact.
When we hear the word "grief," we think of death or tragedy. But grief is about loss. Often, the intangible losses—like those that come with major transitions—catch us off guard with the havoc they can wreak in our lives.
That’s why you’ve likely never heard of grief after success—because it’s completely misunderstood. Instead of recognizing the regret, emptiness, loneliness, restlessness, or even jealousy of those still in the game as symptoms of unidentified loss, you’re told it’s a mindset issue—that the solution is to "be grateful" and “stay busy” or “find your next thing.”
But the truth is, what you’re feeling isn’t ingratitude, a lack of perspective, or negativity. It’s a form of grief—and it's a healthy and normal response to the losses that accompanied your success.
When grief is left unrecognized, unacknowledged, and unresolved, it keeps us stuck and vulnerable to making impulsive decisions to get relief—jumping into the wrong opportunities and chasing distractions.
Another business or nonprofit to run, another investment to manage, or another hobby or vaation will not cure the discomfort. The solution is to resolve what’s underneath it.
Lost and unimportant without the business that defined them.

Notable Entrepreneurs who Publically admit to a difficult post-exit transition
You are not the only one experiencing the unrecognized grief of an exit...
The problem isn’t that you sold.
The problem is nobody prepared you for what comes after.
I’ve spent over 15 years helping individuals and organizations navigate the pain and challenges of grief, loss, and major life transitions. But my experience isn’t just professional—it’s deeply personal.
In 2008, my twin baby daughters died just six days apart. Their loss shattered my world and exposed just how misunderstood grief truly is. I had no roadmap—so I created my own and then started teaching others what I learned.
With that mission in mind, my sister and I co-founded Teamotions in 2009, a company dedicated to supporting emotional and physical healing. But when I left our company in 2019, I faced something I never saw coming—post-exit grief.
Even after years as a grief expert, I was blindsided by the emotional fallout of moving on from the business I built even though it was my choice and to pursue something meaningful.
That experience deepened my work, and now, I help entrepreneurs like you navigate the unexpected emotional disorientation of selling your business—so you can process what you’ve lost, reclaim what truly matters, and put the struggle behind you to build a future that is truly fulfilling.
The Only Post-Exit Grief Recovery Expert for Entrepreneurs
You're not failing to enjoy success—you’re feeling the losses of an exit.

What You Can Expect:
Exited founder
Selling my company should have been the happiest moment of my life. Instead, I felt like I lost my purpose and I hid my feelings for years. Rachel's process restored my sense of self and direction. I was able to take next steps from inspiration instead of desperation.
I wish I met Rachel when I sold my business instead of 2 years later.

Every other solution felt insufficient. Angel investing, golf, therapy, traveling… none of it worked. This was the first time I understood what I was really feeling after the sale of my business and how to move forward in a way that felt right.
Rachel gave me more clarity than I thought I needed.
E-Commerce founder
I had the money, the time, and all the options in the world—yet I felt completely lost. Working with Rachel changed everything. I don’t just feel relevant again—I feel alive and fullfilled.
