Seven years ago, my world changed in an instant when my husband passed away suddenly from a brain aneurysm. I went from being a wife and mom—identities that had defined my entire life—to lying on the floor, asking myself, What now?
In this first episode of Her Positive Legacy Podcast, I share my journey through grief, self-discovery, and reinvention. I talk about the struggles of losing myself in people-pleasing, the fears of starting over, and the moment I realized that my kids—my biggest inspiration—had been watching me all along.
I’ll take you through the small but powerful steps I took to rebuild my life, from daily meditation to reconnecting with old friends, overcoming self-doubt, and finally embracing the idea that healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means carrying love forward in a new way.
This episode is for anyone who has ever felt stuck, faced unexpected loss, or wondered if it’s too late to start again. My journey isn’t perfect, and it’s still unfolding, but I hope it inspires you to take the next step in yours.
Key Points:
•The moment my life changed forever and how grief forced me to reevaluate everything.
•How I lost myself in taking care of others and struggled to answer, Who am I now?
•The unexpected inspiration I found in my kids and their belief in me.
•My first steps toward self-reinvention: meditation, reconnecting with friends, and shifting my mindset.
•The biggest lesson grief taught me—healing isn’t about forgetting, it’s about carrying love forward.
•Why I created Her Positive Legacy Podcast and how it can help you on your journey.
