Ep. 35 - Rock Bottom Changed Me: Finding Wellness Through Grief, Loss & Starting Over

<p>There are versions of ourselves that only exist because life completely unraveled.</p><p>In this episode, I&#39;m sharing one of the most vulnerable chapters of my life—the loss of my dad, the panic attacks that followed, and the wellness practices that helped me slowly find my way back... not to the woman I was before, but to someone entirely new.</p><p>We often think wellness is about routines, habits, and feeling our best. But what happens when you&#39;re grieving? When you&#39;ve lost someone you love, a relationship, a career, or a version of yourself you can never return to?</p><p><u><strong>Together we&#39;ll explore:</strong></u><br>• Why grief isn&#39;t limited to death<br>• What panic attacks actually are (and what helped me through them)<br>• How Traditional Chinese Medicine became a turning point in my healing<br>• The transformative impact of EMDR and Internal Family Systems therapy<br>• Losing faith—and unexpectedly finding spirituality again<br>• Why your darkest seasons may be introducing you to the exact tools your soul needs next</p><p>If you&#39;re moving through grief, heartbreak, burnout, a major life transition, or simply feel like life has pulled the rug out from under you, I hope this episode reminds you that healing isn&#39;t about becoming who you used to be.</p><p><em><strong>It&#39;s about meeting the person you&#39;re becoming.</strong></em></p><p>If this episode resonates with you, I&#39;d love to hear from you.
