You Are Not Broken, You Are Being Remade

Some seasons break us open completely. Whether it's divorce, losing a parent, or watching a carefully constructed life unravel, these moments of profound grief can leave us feeling hollow and disconnected from ourselves. But what if being cracked open isn't about destruction, but revelation?

This deeply personal exploration navigates the raw terrain of heartbreak and transformation. I share my own journey through the end of my marriage and the devastating loss of my parents, revealing how these experiences stripped away the masks I'd been wearing and invited me into a radical emotional honesty. When life shatters around us, we're forced to confront not just what we've lost, but who we truly are beneath the roles and relationships that previously defined us.

The path through grief isn't linear, and healing isn't a checklist. Through practices like naming your truth without editing it, finding safe witnesses for your story, feeling to heal, and protecting your nervous system, you can begin to breathe again. This episode offers gentle wisdom for anyone navigating a personal devastation: you are not broken—you are being remade. You're allowed to fall apart completely, and you're worthy of rebuilding slowly and beautifully in your own time.

Ready to reclaim your voice and step into the most empowered version of yourself? My coaching spaces are open with a signature program on forgiveness—primarily forgiveness of yourself. Share this episode with someone whose world might be brightened by these words of hope. Remember: stay open, stay radiant, and stay rooted in your own becoming.

Hey, radiant Souls, welcome back to Unleash your Inner Radiance, the space where we let the light back in, even when life feels anything but bright. Today's episode is going to be kind of a tender one. We're going to talk about the kind of moments that break you, the grief that makes you forget who you are, the seasons that leave you on the bathroom floor wondering how the pieces will ever come back together. This one's about divorce, about losing my mom, about losing my dad, and about what happens when we carefully construct a life and it comes undone. A life and it comes undone. This is not all about heartbreak. It's about the rebirth that follows, the radical honesty, the quiet healing and the becoming.

I remember the moment I realized that my marriage was ending. There wasn't one big explosions, there were many explosions and just the slow unraveling of two people who had grown in different directions. Layer that with the deep, soul-ripping grief of losing my mom a few years later. And then suddenly I was navigating two losses kind of at once, and the person who brought me into this world, and then I also lost the life that I thought I would be living. There were nights when I literally felt hollow. I numbed out, I secluded myself away from my friends and every morning I begged for answers or at least a break from the ache. But here's the thing when life cracks you open, it doesn't do it to destroy you. It does it to reveal you, you to unearth the parts of you that have been buried under the performance, under the mask, under the people pleasing, under the perfectionism. It literally invites you into raw emotional honesty, the kind that says this is how I'm really doing, not the polished version, but the real one, and that is the beginning of healing. Emotional honesty and safe spaces are tools, um to help you reset.

So if you are in a season of unraveling, I want to offer a few practices that helped me start to really, truly breathe again. One I want you to name your truth without editing it. I want you to write it, I want you to speak it, I want you to whisper it in the car. Let yourself say the hard things without shame, because there's no shame in them. Two find a safe witness. This could be a therapist, a life coach, a best friend, a sacred community. You don't need to go through any of this alone. You just need to find that one safe person that you can share it with. That will listen with empathy and help you grow from what you went through.

Speaker 1: 4:43

Three feel the heal. You need to feel all the emotions that you are going through, that you have stuffed down in your body in order to heal, because grief isn't linear. Healing isn't a checklist. I want you to let yourself cry, scream, laugh and be still and be still. Trust the emotions. They are messengers and trust them as that. Four protect your nervous system.

Speaker 1: 5:32

Go back and listen to a couple of my past episodes, because I've been talking about all of this and I want you to learn how to navigate and come back and calm your nervous system and bring your nervous system to the present moment. Maybe you're navigating a heartbreak right now, maybe you're grieving someone who feels irreplaceable, or maybe your version of the wake-up call looks like burnout, chronic stress or simply realizing that this isn't the life that you want anymore. Wherever you are, I want you to know this you are not broken. You are being remade. You are allowed to literally fall apart and you're also worthy of rebuilding slowly and beautifully in your own time. It is really truly time to reclaim your voice, to reframe all the narratives and all the self-talk in your mind and everything that has held you back, and this is the time to literally step into the most empowered version of yourself. The most empowered version of yourself, the most empowered version of you.
