Have you ever looked back on a difficult season in your life and realized it was actually the moment that changed everything?

In this RenewHer Reflection, I share a perspective that completely changed the way I think about life's disappointments. Inspired by a quote from Jay Shetty and the wisdom of Steve Jobs, I reflect on my own journey—from being laid off from my corporate career, to a failed house-flipping business, to discovering brain health, and ultimately finding the work that feels most aligned with who I am today.

At the time, each setback felt like something that was happening to me.

Looking back, I can now see those experiences were happening for me.

Sometimes, we can't understand why a door closes until years later. We can only connect the dots in hindsight.

If you're walking through a difficult season right now, I hope this episode reminds you that your story isn't over yet.

If this episode encouraged you, I'd love for you to share it with someone who may need this reminder today. And if you haven't already, please follow the podcast and leave a review. It helps more women discover RenewHer and join us on this journey toward living with greater purpose, resilience, and brain health.
