Why Love (and loss) matters in storytelling
At SMC, we believe storytelling isn’t just for branding—it's how we connect, how we heal, and how we grow. And behind every business is a human story. This reflection comes from my personal life, but the truth behind it applies to entrepreneurs, leaders, creatives, and anyone trying to build something meaningful.
Whether we lose a loved one, walk away from a partnership, or close a chapter that mattered—loss is part of the human story. But it doesn’t make love, time, or effort wasted. In fact, it often becomes the soil from which our greatest work grows.
In storytelling—especially in business—we’re often told to “share the value” or “tell your why.” But what about the parts we can’t wrap up in a neat bow? What if the story is still unfolding?
I’ve learned that our most powerful messages don’t come from perfection—they come from the parts we lived through.
My experiences and lessons throughout life have shaped the work I do now. They made me more compassionate, more curious, more committed to helping others tell stories that matter.
If you're navigating a personal shift while building a brand or business, know this: Love is never wasted. The heartache, the change, the letting go—it can all become part of your message. And that message? It might be what connects you to the people you’re meant to serve.
