147. The Truth About My Hardest Year and What I’m Carrying Forward

This episode is raw in a way I don’t usually get. No expert interview. No structured lesson. Just me sharing the hardest year of my life and the moment I realized I was standing at a fork in the road. Losing myself completely or choosing to rebuild into the woman and mother I want to be. I talk honestly about postpartum hormones, losing routines, grieving parts of my old life, and the quiet identity shift that no one really prepares you for when motherhood collides with ambition, business, and real life.

I take you behind the scenes of what this year actually looked like and the realizations that finally stopped the spiral. We talk about the pressure to do it all, why feeling lost doesn’t mean you failed, and how I’m redefining priorities without abandoning myself in the process. I also share the non-negotiables I’m committing to as I move into this next season and why rebuilding doesn’t have to be extreme to be meaningful.

By the end of this episode, I hope you feel less alone in the messy middle and a little more grounded if this year shook your sense of identity. If this year left you feeling lost, stretched thin, or quietly questioning who you are now, this episode is for you.
