Entrepreneur has published a new article, 'How Loss Can Become the Fuel for Your Legacy,' exploring how three women — Lindsay O'Neill-O'Keefe, Pam Gold, and Jenna Zwagil — rebuilt their lives and careers after major personal disruptions. Written by Wellness Eternal founder Lindsay O'Neill-O'Keefe, the article traces how back-to-back divorces, pandemic uncertainty, and the collapse of a business partnership became the foundation for rebuilding her company and redefining her mission.
The article also highlights Pam Gold, founder of HACKD Fitness (now PRTL), who evolved her NYC performance-tech studio into a space centered on nervous system regulation, clarity, and whole-person wellness as the post-pandemic world shifted from 'faster' toward 'fuller.' Jenna Zwagil moved from homelessness to multimillion-dollar entrepreneurship, later losing her marriage and identity, then rebuilding around wisdom, wealth, and wellness while raising four children.
Together, the narratives reflect a broader trend: single mothers now lead one in three women-owned businesses in the U.S., with most pursuing growth for generational impact rather than vanity metrics. The piece underscores that reinvention is not a dramatic pivot but a series of small, values-driven decisions shaped by truth, resilience, and community.
