How To Handle The Worst Season In Your Life

“Feelings may not be facts—but they are valid.” I think it’s safe to say we’ve all experienced something we could label "the worst"— at least until the next worst thing happens. In this episode, I discuss the universal experience of facing life's worst moments and offer practical practices that will help you navigate them. We dive into the importance of feeling emotions, making a decision to heal, collecting lessons from struggles, prioritizing self-care, and embracing the new version of yourself that emerges from adversity. This episode is special. I didn’t realize it until I listened to the playback, but I get really raw as I share what was one of the most painful experiences in my life. My hope is that I encourage you as I encouraged myself with this one. Finally, I extended a special invitation for you to share your “worst season” story with me.
