Welcome to the first episode of Own Your Era! I’m so excited (and a little nervous) to share this raw and real episode with you. To be honest, this isn’t how I planned to kick off the season, but life has a funny way of steering us exactly where we need to go—even when it’s uncomfortable. In this episode, I’m opening up about losing my job and how I’m navigating this transition with faith, trust, and a whole lot of deep breaths. I’ve felt all the feels. If you’ve ever been blindsided by life, felt stuck, or wondered how to move forward when everything feels uncertain, this one’s for you. What I’m Sharing in This Episode:

• The raw truth about losing my job and why it actually feels like a blessing in disguise.
• How my faith and relationship with God have been my anchor during this time.
• A reminder that you don’t “own” a job or title—what you truly own is your creativity, your skills, and your ability to pivot.
• Why vulnerability is a superpower, and how sharing your mess can be the most empowering thing you do.
