From Loss to Legacy

How Losing My Mom is Inspiring Growth in My Business

The last few months have been some of the hardest of my life. After hearing the words no child is ever ready for—"there’s nothing more we can do"—I began the bittersweet journey of saying goodbye to my mom.

For eight days, my siblings and I sat by her bedside, holding her hand, laughing at memories, and cherishing every moment. Those days were filled with heartbreak but also immense gratitude—gratitude for the time, the space, and the ability to just be there.

Owning my own business is what made that possible. It’s what allowed me to set my work aside and focus on what truly mattered most: my family. That freedom was a gift I will never take for granted.

Turning Pain Into Purpose

While grief has a way of slowing you down, it also opens the door to reflection. Losing my mom has reminded me how precious time is and how important it is to align our lives and work with what truly fills our souls.

Her passing has also lit a fire in me—a deep desire to live even more boldly, more abundantly, and to create the kind of impact I know I’m capable of. My mom always believed in me, and I want to honor her by showing up fully in my life and business.

Growing Into What’s Next

That’s why I’m so excited to share what’s coming next for Kayla Leed Creative. This March, I’ll host my very first in-person business retreat, designed for creative entrepreneurs who want to turn their soul passion into a money-making, life-changing business.

This retreat is about so much more than strategy—it’s about tapping into your why, aligning with your purpose, and building a business that supports the life you dream of. Together, we’ll dive into mindset, actionable steps, and the tools you need to create sustainable, meaningful success.

A Legacy of Love

If there’s one thing my mom taught me, it’s that life is too short to play small. Her legacy inspires me to not only grow as a person but to help others find their own version of success and abundance.

Whether you’re just starting out or ready to take your business to the next level, this retreat will be an incredible opportunity to connect, grow, and transform.

If this sounds like what you need, I’d love for you to join me. Stay tuned for more details coming soon, and let’s turn your passion into your legacy.

Here’s to building a life you love and honoring those who believed in us along the way.
