In this episode, Stephanie opens up about losing her dad and how that experience reshaped her understanding of emotional strength, healing, and resilience. Inspired by Alex Hormozi’s reflections on grief, she shares how pain can become a teacher and how growth doesn’t mean avoiding emotion, but learning to move through it.
✅ Top 3 Takeaways:
- Real strength means feeling fully, not fighting your feelings. Suppressing emotion delays healing; presence and honesty rebuild it.
- Adversity reveals your emotional habits. The moments that shatter you also show where you’ve been hiding from yourself.
- Growth begins when you surrender control. Accepting what is (instead of resisting it) opens the door to peace, perspective, and maturity.
