Welcome back to Crazy Enough. In this episode, we dive into candle number five in the By Noon collection: Strength.
Strength is more than muscle; it's resilience, boundary-setting, and persistence. It’s the courage to face yourself honestly in the mirror and keep going when everything inside you wants to quit. It’s navigating heartbreak, scaling a business from $100K to $5M, and learning that freedom comes on the other side of endurance.
In this episode, Mary explores strength through five essential lenses:

She wasn’t a co-founder. She wasn’t an owner. But she was by my side for years — almost like a business partner. I trusted her with clients, vendors, and my company’s reputation. And behind my back, she plotted to take it all.
Secret meetings. Stolen clients. Forged documents. Even fake invoices.
