Ep 149 The Phone Call That Changed Everything: A Story of Loss, Resilience & Choosing to Rise

Welcome to "Thriving in Midlife" The Women’s Guide to Wellness, Longevity & Hormones After 40. This is your trusted space to cut through the noise, ditch the overwhelm, and finally feel extraordinary in your body, mind, and life. Are you who are ready to stop pushing through life and start living it with intention, energy, and ease? Then let's get started. I'm your host, Kellie Lupsha, a high-performance health coach, who is delighted to be your guide to vitality. In this episode, I open up about a pivotal season in my life that began with a single phone call and unfolded into a series of moments that redefined everything familiar to me. It’s a reflection on love, family, responsibility, and what it means to stay grounded when life moves faster than your ability to process it. I also share how those experiences continue to shape the way I show up today personally, professionally, and emotionally. My hope is that as I walk you through this story, it invites you to reflect on your own resilience and the moments that have shaped who you are becoming. Key Highlights: ➡️ I share the experience of receiving unexpected news that instantly shifted the course of an ordinary day. ➡️ How life can shift in an instant, even when everything seemed “fine” ➡️ What it felt like navigating life while things were quietly unfolding behind the scenes. ➡️ How both of my kids unknowingly spent intentional, meaningful time with their father just weeks before everything changed. ➡️ A moment where personal life and professional responsibilities collided in real time. ➡️ How quickly decisions had to be made across distances, schedules, and emotions. ➡️ What it looked like to still navigate responsibilities while carrying emotional weight. ➡️ Why I believe every difficult chapter is an invitation to grow bolder ➡️ How this experience continues to shape my understanding of growth, identity, and moving forward after life-altering moments.
