Ep. 42 | When Life Falls Apart: Finding Strength in the Hardest Moments

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

In today's episode, I'm talking about transformation through life's curveballs — spiritual growth born from collapse. At her book launch, my friend Alisa Kriegel shared how discovering her husband was gay shattered her life — and ultimately set her free.  I share how I've seen that same pattern in my own life: when businesses shifted, relationships ended, and old stories fell away. We'll explore how to stay open when things fall apart, how to let heartbreak become your teacher, and how to trust that even the hardest endings can lead to sacred beginnings. Question to carry into your day: When something is ending in your life, how can you keep even a small part of yourself open to the possibility that this catalyst is here to grow you?
