In this episode, Marijo Puelo shares how getting fired from her corporate job in 2004 — initially devastating — became the catalyst for profound transformation. Struggling in an abusive culture that triggered undiagnosed PTSD, she faced a choice each morning for six months between two metaphorical batons: "this will define you" or "make this a defining moment." Her arduous journey through the gut punch eventually led her to "whole of life living" — accepting all emotions and breaking free from the self-imposed prison of rules she'd created to stay safe. Marijo discovered that true healing comes from resting in core essence, and she shares how she arrived at this realization.
