Welcome to episode forty-four of the Me Skills Podcast, where we lean into self-love and great ideas that build a better life.
We created a Podcast Reflections Resource that covers this series of episodes on Change. You can grab the PDF and use it to reflect on questions that go with each of the episodes. (Free - no strings!)
Kelly sits down with Maruxa Murphy for a heart-to-heart about transformation, facing life-changing decisions, and the power of embracing your true self no matter how scary it feels..
Maruxa opens up about her journey through a 20-year marriage, the courage it took to choose conscious uncoupling, and how she rebuilt her life, business, and sense of self from the inside out.
Together, Kelly and Maruxa unpack the identities and roles we cling to, the societal and personal expectations that can hold us back, and what happens when you let go of the stories that no longer serve you.
Maruxa and Kelly get candid about grief, growth, self-worth, and what it really means to surrender to transformation. You’ll walk away, inspired to rethink what’s possible and invited to show up more fully in your own life.
