In this deeply moving episode, host Ashley Bates sits down with Lhay Browning Triffiley, who shares her powerful story of loss, surrender, and starting over when life stripped away everything that once felt stable.

Beginning in 2019, Lhay faced profound loss, the unraveling of her marriage, and eventually the end of a ten-year career—leaving her questioning her identity and sense of control. For months, she lived by one simple mantra: “Lead me where you need me.”

Then came one message. One opportunity. One turning point.

Ashley and Lhay talk about rebuilding from the inside out—downsizing, moving to Jackson, embracing simplicity, and finding peace in small daily rituals that slowly brought joy back into her life.
