What if loss wasn’t something to fear but something to celebrate? In this episode,  I take you behind the scenes of my keynote at FEMpowered, where I explored how loss isn’t an ending—it’s an opening. 

Whether it’s relationships, beliefs, or old identities, every loss creates space for something new, and learning to detach from outdated narratives is the key to real freedom.

I share my personal process for embracing loss, navigating the discomfort of stepping into a bigger version of myself, and trusting that what’s meant for us will always align. 

If you’ve ever felt like shedding the old is messy, uncertain, or even painful, this episode is your reminder that the most powerful transformations happen when we let go.

Here are the highlights:
