On this BizBlend episode, Sana sits down with award winning entrepreneur and patient safety advocate Reasa Selph to unpack what happens when your whole life and business are interrupted by your child’s near fatal, preventable sepsis. Instead of centering profit at all costs, Risa rebuilt her leadership philosophy around compassion, boundaries, and what actually matters when everything is on the line. They get real about the messy middle founders do not post on LinkedIn. active lawsuits, medical system failures, and the emotional toll of carrying a business, a team, and a family through prolonged crisis. Reasa shares exactly how she shows up for clients while refusing “profits over people” culture, why balance is mostly a myth, and how resilience without real support leads straight to burnout. This is a straight talking masterclass in leading with humanity without losing commercial edge. About the Guest: Reasa Selph is an award winning entrepreneur, mother, and patient safety advocate based in Texas. After her son Nicholas nearly died from preventable sepsis and a cascade of medical failures, she became a full time advocate for his care while continuing to run her marketing company. Drawing on years of global perspective, including a decade living in India, she now leads with a simple premise. do the right thing, protect your people, and refuse profit over patients or profit over humans in any system. Through her work, she is pushing for accountability in healthcare while modeling a more honest, compassionate style of leadership for founders and executives. Key Takeaways: Personal crisis can reset every KPI. Reasa’s son’s preventable sepsis and 40 day hospital stay forced her to accept that if the business burned but her child lived, that was the only metric that mattered. Compassion is a business strategy, not a “soft skill”. She now leads with presence, honesty, and clear boundaries, showing up fully for clients while refusing panic, rudeness, and “everything is an emergency” culture. Balance is mostly fictional. In seasons of lawsuits, medical care, and active advocacy, she rotates focus between family, legal work, and business instead of pretending work life harmony is always equal. Systems often put profit over people. Her experience with “white coat immunity,” weak accountability, and NDAs in healthcare mirrors how corporations quietly treat harm as a line item instead of changing culture. Resilience without support becomes self harm. Weekly therapy, scheduled “cry time,” rest, and body based care are non negotiable guardrails against compassion fatigue and emotional burnout. Teams make sustainable impact possible. Internally, they run on trust and shared ownership so outside stakeholders never see the chaos behind the scenes, only consistent delivery and values aligned execution.
