Love, Loss, and the Life you are Still Meant to Build

from Mirror Mirror On the Mic · host malissamatia

What if your life falls apart… after you finally built the one you always wanted? In this episode of Mirror Mirror on the Mic, I sit down with Steve Gamlin, former radio DJ turned motivational speaker/stand-up comic, who knows what it means to rebuild a life more than once. Steve walked away from a career that no longer fit, stepped into a completely new path, and eventually found the love of his life. But in a devastating and unexpected turn, he lost her while they were traveling together in London. This conversation is about what happens after the dream comes true… and then breaks. We talk about grief, resilience, and the choice to keep living when life doesn’t go according to plan. And we also get practical—because Steve is known for helping people create vision boards that actually work. Not the cute, cut-and-paste kind. The kind that leads to real action, real change, and a life you can actually step into. If you’ve ever felt stuck, disconnected from what you want, or afraid to start over… this episode will meet you there. In this episode, we cover: Why most vision boards don’t work (and how to fix it) How to take action on your vision instead of just dreaming about it What it looks like to rebuild after unimaginable loss The difference between hoping for a better life and choosing one How to keep going when everything in you wants to stop This is one of those conversations that stays with you. And if you’re in a season of rebuilding… consider this your reminder: You are allowed to want a beautiful life.
