070: [FEMININE FLOW] Sara Avant Stover on: heartbreak, betrayal, "falls from grace" & transformation


Listen Later

Welcome back, community! I am really honored to bring on my next amazing guest: Sara Avant Stover. This week's episode is perfectly timed with her latest book which is NOW live, Handbook for the Heartbroken. Today we're talking about the messy stuff —heartache, health issues, money troubles—and how they shape us. 
I so deeply appreciate this powerful conversation because Sara touches on not just the pains we face but also those "second arrows" e.g. the broken dreams that follow loss, the shame that follows a fall from grace, and everything in between. These are conversations that are often not covered in our "highlight reel" focused society but these are the openhearted conversations that in my opinion, we should be having. 
Trigger warning: today we will be covering miscarriages, abortions, betrayal, bankruptcy and more.

What we cover:

  • Finding course when you’re trying not to drown
  • Facing shame and rejection head on and accepting that as part of the journey
  • Leaning into self-acceptance instead of spiritual bypass
  • Faith and identifying your true voice as a navigator
  • Rituals around finding your footing again
  • The initiation of grief - grief as a means of cultural initiation 
  • + so much more
