ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What happens when the business you build is born from the hardest thing you've ever survived?
Hannah Darby didn't set out to become an entrepreneur — she became one because she couldn't ignore what her own grief journey had taught her. As a holistic healer and grief guide, Hannah blends subconscious therapy, energy work, and counseling to help people heal at the root. But her path to solopreneurship wasn't linear: navigating a diagnosis of ME/CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) forced her to rebuild her business — and her identity — around sustainability instead of hustle.
In this episode, Hannah opens up about the invisible grief that comes with chronic illness, how she found her niche by blending lived experience with professional training (including certification with David Kessler), and the mindset shift that changed everything: rest isn't the opposite of productivity — it's the foundation of it.
We also talk about her upcoming book, Safe to Grieve: Reclaiming Your Right to Heal, Feel and Rise Again, and what she believes is coming next for how solopreneurs work and support each other.
If you've ever felt like you have to earn your rest, or that grief has no place in a "business" conversation — this one's for you.
