From Broken Eggs to Breakthroughs with Britney Valas

Britney Valas (see bio below) has lived enough chapters for three memoirs, two Netflix docuseries, and possibly one CrossFit workout no one should attempt without medical supervision.

In this episode, Jeff talks with Britney about resilience, reinvention, faith, family, leadership, and what happens when life hands you the business-owner version of a flaming casserole.

Britney’s path started with a seven-year plan she created as a teenager to become a pharmaceutical sales rep. She worked at Kmart, became a certified pharmacy technician at 17, graduated early, thrived at Enterprise, and eventually landed the job she had been chasing at Bristol Myers Squibb. Then she realized the dream job did not deliver the fulfillment she expected.

From there, her story moves through stay-at-home motherhood, homeschooling five kids, triathlons, restaurant ownership, COVID, divorce, franchise chaos, bankruptcy, rebuilding, and the creation of S​h​aw Enterprises, Empower ​Y​ou, and her                  T​RIGGERZ program.

This is a conversation about falling apart, getting back up, finding purpose in every role, and turning hard-earned lessons into tools that help other people heal, grow, and lead.

And yes, we also cover CrossFit, five kids, margaritas to-go, beetles crawling out of restaurant tables, a nonprofit grant, juvenile detention work, and why sometimes the worst season of your life becomes the raw material for your next calling.
