Have you ever had a moment when you looked around and thought, “Is this really my effing life?”
Maybe it's a quiet afternoon, or a chaotic moment, but something makes you question everything. That's exactly what happened to Lydia Mandell—sitting in a hot laundry room, overwhelmed by grief, menopause, and the weight of caring for her aging parents. It was a true "WTF" moment, but rather than staying stuck in it, Lydia turned it into a powerful shift. By embracing sacred practices, like journaling, breathwork, and setting boundaries, she began to reclaim her life. She realized that taking care of herself was the key to healing—not only her relationship with her parents but also with herself.
Lydia’s journey is a testament to the power of shining your light, even when life feels turned upside down. It’s about moving from feeling like a victim to becoming the victor in your own story.
If you're ready to make a change, step into your light, and move from "Is this my life?" to "This is my life!" then Lydia’s wisdom is exactly what you need.
