4. How Surviving the Hardest Year of My Life Led to Clarity and Growth

In this episode, I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes story of a season that unraveled everything I thought I had figured out — and how that breakdown became the beginning of something more aligned, intentional, and powerful. From surviving a medical crisis abroad to rediscovering my voice through writing, I’m opening up about identity loss, motherhood, resilience, and how the hardest season of my life laid the foundation for the life and business I have today. If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling apart, this episode is your reminder that healing and rebuilding are possible — and beautiful.

What you’ll learn:

• Why breakdowns can be the catalyst for breakthroughs
• How to reclaim your identity after survival mode
• The importance of self-care when everything feels fragile
• What it means to choose yourself in small, consistent ways
• How one courageous action — like hitting publish — can shift everything
• The power of using your voice and story to build something meaningful
