In this inspiring episode of Inntrospection: From Grief to Growth, host Amy Lindner-Lesser sits down with Manda Stack, a certified energy clearing practitioner and transformational coach who helps midlife women quiet self-doubt and claim a more fulfilling life.

Manda walks with people through the "fire of change" and shares her own extraordinary story of leaving a 23-year career as a pastor to follow the "quiet nudge of her soul" and embrace a new identity. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone standing at a major life crossroads, feeling "stuck between the safety of what they have always known and the ache for something more."

In this episode, you will explore:

• 
  
• The Moment of Reckoning: Manda’s personal story of burnout and the moment she realized she was "just going through the motions" and "didn't feel like me anymore".
• 
  
• 
  
• The Ultimate Question: Why the most common question during a life transition—whether it’s widowhood, career change, or reevaluation—boils down to: "Who am I now?".

• 
  
• The Fear of the Leap: The profound challenge of facing major change, not just for yourself, but the fear of "hurting other people or their reactions".

• 
  
• The Gift of Clarity: The importance of giving yourself time, space, and a "container of support" to gain the clarity needed to build a life of freedom and fulfillment that feels true to who you really are.
• 
  
• 
  
• Reinvention is Possible: Manda’s proof that taking that terrifying leap is "life-giving" on the other side.
