What if turning a personal struggle into a business could not only change your life but also impact countless others? Join us as we chat with the inspiring Sarah Michelle Bose, who transformed her battle with test anxiety into MP Reviews, a thriving educational resource. During the pandemic, Sarah's innovative Life Study Groups provided students with essential guidance and mental health support. As a mother, author, and entrepreneur, her journey from nurse practitioner to successful businesswoman showcases how personal challenges can fuel incredible achievements.
In our conversation, Sarah opens up about her strategic journey in the business world, including the successful sale of her company, which was initially just a valuation exercise. Her focus on nursing and mental health extends beyond her business, as evidenced by her impactful donation of $15 million to establish the Bose Family Congenital Heart Institute. Sarah's memoir sheds light on her experiences with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and her activism in mental health and congenital heart disease awareness adds layers to her enduring legacy.
