When I look now, two years removed from really deep loss and grief and suffering, if I'm

being honest, I was suffering.

I also can see how everything has been orchestrated in such a way that it brought me back

to my power.

I had to feel powerless in order to remember how powerful I truly am.

I want to have a conversation today about how to remember how powerful you are, especially when you've been through or if you are currently going through a season that has been really testing, a season that for valid reasons, has you feeling disconnected from how powerful you truly are at your

core. And I share this from the perspective of realizing recently how much the last two years and all of the hardships, all of the blessings, all of the lessons

have really reached this culmination point where a year ago I would have told you that I thought

I was feeling great. And I was. I was definitely at a beautiful place in my healing. I had done a lot of

deep work and integrated a lot of the lessons that, you know, if you've been following along

on the podcast, there just was so much change, so much loss, so much grief in 2024. And

coming into 2025, I felt a new energy. But I don't think I realized until a full

year later, now that we're into 2026, how much I still had deeper layers to shed, deeper grief to process. And maybe there's no end point to this

journey. I don't think my growth is ever done, but I'm standing here now two years out from

this season where I felt like everything about my identity and my life as I knew it

crumbled all at once. I now look back and can see a year ago, so a year into the healing

and grieving and processing, I still had so much more to do.

And I got to a point it was earlier this year where it was kind of this culmination of a few other things that I've shared a little bit on the podcast how specifically the financial impact of all of that loss didn't really catch up with me until earlier this year and I was in this place where I just had sort of had enough. I was like over it.

I was over the struggle. I was over the lessons, quite frankly. And it was this moment where, if I'm being honest, I had to come

face to face with the fact that everything that had happened had given me a valid reason. Again,

I'm not saying this isn't valid, to forget how powerful I truly am.

And when I say powerful, I mean how much power I actually have over my life and how it goes and what I experience.
