She was sued for $1.5M... then she wrote a book about it.


Hi Reader,

I’m excited to share my latest podcast episode with you! I recently sat down with Kettia Ming, author of Run the Mile You’re In: One Founder’s Journey Through Success, Loss, and Reinvention, for a deeply inspiring and vulnerable conversation.

Have you ever experienced a setback in business or life that felt so heavy you didn’t even want to talk about it? For a long time, Kettia felt that way about a $1.5 million lawsuit brought against her by the company that bought her first business. But when she finally sat down to write her truth, that painful chapter transformed into a message of hope and strength for thousands of readers.

In this episode, we explore:

  • How Kettia navigated a devastating $1.5M non-compete lawsuit while raising three young children
  • The mindset shift of “running the mile you’re in” to handle extreme anxiety and business stress
  • Why you shouldn’t search for a “savior” when chaos hits—and how to cultivate true self-trust
  • Practical brain-dumping tools to get doomsday scenarios out of your head and onto paper
  • How writing her raw journal entries organically grew into a published manuscript

One of my favorite quotes from our conversation was: “Nobody’s really coming to save you. We have what it takes to help us out of most situations if we stop, think, and don’t panic.”
