Have you ever said, “I could never handle that”? I used to say it too—until life handed me situations I never could have imagined.
In this episode, I open up about the hardest chapters of my life: losing my first son to SIDS, becoming a caregiver just weeks after getting married, raising a child with intellectual disabilities, and facing bankruptcy after a divorce. These were the moments I once thought I couldn’t survive. And yet, I did. Not only did I survive, but I created a life I truly love.
I’ll share how I shifted from saying “I can’t imagine it” to asking myself “Why not me?”—and how you can use the proof of your own resilience to step into new risks and opportunities.
