Featuring Christy Smallwood

In this episode of Small Business Success Talk, host Christy Smallwood opens up about the fine line between healthy solitude and harmful isolation—especially for entrepreneurs navigating chaos, debt, and change.

Drawing from her own “cocooning” season, Christy shares how isolation can either transform you or trap you, and why intention and reentry are everything. She dives deep into:

• Why business owners hide their struggles (especially financial ones)

• The difference between cocooning for growth vs. isolating from pain

• How to use solitude to recharge, realign, and reconnect

• The physical, emotional, and spiritual effects of chronic isolation

• How to build your support system, find accountability, and rejoin community
