A raw and honest reflection on physical recovery, emotional pain, and finding strength in the middle of it all.

In this deeply personal solo episode of the Refine and Shine podcast, host Angelina Rivera opens up about the unexpected turns 2025 has brought — from recovering after pelvic reconstruction surgery to the emotional pain of losing her beloved dog, Bandit.

This isn’t the episode she planned — but it’s the one her heart needed to release.

Angelina reflects on:

• The reality of post-surgery recovery — the pain, the limitations, and the mental battle
• How grief hit hard after the passing of Bandit, who had been by her side for 12 years
• The lessons learned when life forces us to slow down, sit with our feelings, and choose to heal anyway
• Why it's okay not to be okay — and why sharing your story helps others do the same

If you’ve ever felt like life knocked the wind out of you, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone. There’s strength in stillness, healing in honesty, and hope in sharing the journey.

✨ Let this episode wrap around you like a warm blanket on a cold day.
