Hi, I am Anastasia
My Journey: Solving Exit Paradox
I've exited 4 companies so far.
My first 9-figure exit, 13 years ago, cost me my marriage, friendships, and millions.
I was young, wealthy, and free. Yet, I found myself depressed, confused, and lonely.
Caught in this paradox, I desperately sought clarity.
Traditional solutions - coaches, therapists, wealth advisors - offered little relief. I realized that grasping the full impact of an exit is something you have to live through - comparable to falling in love, becoming a parent, or facing death.
Thus, my odyssey began.
I delved into research, sought wisdom worldwide, and connected with hundreds of fellow post-exit founders. Astonishingly, most were distracting themselves by FOMO-driven investing or some form of meaningless busyness. Others were trapped in comfort yet unfulfilled for decades.
Gradually, focusing on my well-being and establishing a stable foundation, I found a measure of contentment.
Yet, a deeper calling persisted. I grappled with the concepts of purpose and fulfillment, questioning their authenticity.
Eventually, I discovered my truths and aligned my life with purpose.
What I’ve learned is this: An exit can be a gateway to fulfillment... if you know the path.
This insight, paired with deep empathy for fellow exited founders, propelled me to share my journey. I started writing articles filled with reflections and actionable advice.
I launched a podcast to interview and share the wisdom of remarkable exited founders I've met—stories that serve as both inspiration and caution.
My mission? To guide others to clarity and fulfillment after their exit, sparing them the detours and losses I endured.
This journey isn’t easy. Yet, if my work can smooth even one person’s path through their post-exit maze, every step I’ve taken is validated.
