How do you rebuild after loss without losing the person you truly are?

Valorie Smith, Dr. Mosongo Moukwa, Paula Washington - The Distinguished Entrepreneur Podcast:

When your career, relationships, or family responsibilities change, it can feel like your identity changes with them. But what if your next chapter isn’t about starting from scratch—it’s about building on everything you’ve already lived, learned, and earned?

In this episode of the Distinguished Entrepreneurial Podcast, hosts Dr. Mosongo Moukwa and Valorie Smith welcome strategist, author, and speaker Paula Washington for an honest conversation about resilience, entrepreneurship, caregiving, and rediscovering purpose.

Paula shares how losing her corporate job and navigating the end of her marriage challenged her to discover who she was beyond her titles. She reflects on raising her daughter while building a business, caring for loved ones, and finding the strength to move forward without abandoning herself.

Whether you’re facing a career transition, grieving a loss, or wondering what comes after years of caring for everyone else, this conversation offers an encouraging perspective on creating your next chapter with intention.
