What happens when the life you've built works perfectly—but no longer feels like you?
This week on COACHED, I sit down with entrepreneur, designer, cancer survivor, and founder of Mrs. Momma Bear, Lee Evans, for one of the most inspiring conversations we've had about reinvention, identity, courage, and creating a life that feels as good as it looks.

Raised on a West Texas ranch, Lee learned resilience before most children learned multiplication. She later built a successful career in healthcare before quietly walking away to create an entirely new business—one inspired by beauty, functionality, and removing unnecessary friction from women's lives.
We explore what it means to protect a dream before sharing it with the world, why surviving breast cancer transformed the way she leads, mothers, and loves, and why true freedom comes not from abandoning who you are—but integrating every part of yourself.
One of my favorite lessons from our conversation? "Wear life like a loose garment."
This episode is for anyone standing at the edge of a career pivot, craving more alignment, or wondering whether it's too late to become who they were always meant to be.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Growing up on a fifth-generation Texas ranch and how resilience is cultivated
- Why practical success isn't always personal fulfillment
- Leaving healthcare to build an entirely new company
- The importance of protecting your dream before sharing it
- How to know when an idea is truly "the one"
- Entrepreneurship, patience, and trusting divine timing
- What surviving breast cancer taught Lee about receiving love
- Motherhood, vulnerability, and courageous conversations
- Why leadership requires more compassion than control
- The power of integrating every part of yourself instead of choosing between identities
- Creating beauty while reducing friction in everyday life
