Roots+Rebirth™ with Terri R. Broussard

In this episode of Roots+Rebirth™, Terri sits down with psychic medium and spiritual coach Snowy Rodeo for a deeply personal and expansive conversation about intuition, lineage, grief, and purpose. Snowy shares how her gifts emerged in childhood, how they were shaped by both Catholic faith and a Cuban lineage of healers, and how she ultimately reclaimed her calling after stepping away to build a successful career in fashion. This conversation explores what it means to trust your inner knowing, navigate grief while staying connected to loved ones in spirit, and build a life aligned with purpose even when the path is not easy or understood by others. In this episode, we discuss: Roots in lineage, spirituality, and early intuitive gifts Rebirth through career loss and reclaiming purpose Balancing religion and spirituality through faith  Grief as connection rather than separation The emotional responsibility of spiritual work Intuition as a skill everyone can access and strengthen Love, alignment, and trusting divine timing Key Takeaways: Intuition is not something you gain, it is something you remember Spiritual gifts often require courage to fully claim Grief can deepen connection rather than end it Alignment requires boundaries and energy management Purpose is revealed through both loss and trust Notable Moments: Snowy's first spiritual experience at age four Learning tarot at nine and keeping the same deck for decades Leaving a high-level fashion career and returning to her calling Helping families during a tragic flood and navigating emotional impact Meeting her husband through her mother's intuitive guidance Receiving a spiritual sign from her mother on her wedding day Where to Find Snowy Instagram: @snowyrodeotarot Services: Tarot readings, yoga, sound healing, retreats, and classes Follow and connect with Terri @terrirbroussard & follow Roots+Rebirth! @rootsandrebirthpodcast

Grief isn't something that simply happens to us—it's something we actively move through. In this deeply meaningful conversation, Terri sits down with renowned grief scholar Thomas Attig to explore a transformative perspective on loss, love, and what it truly means to heal. Drawing from over 40 years of research and teaching, Thomas challenges the traditional idea that grief is passive or something we "get over." Instead, he reframes grief as a process of relearning how to live in a world that has been profoundly changed . Together, they unpack: Why the concept of "closure" doesn't hold up when it comes to love The shift from loving someone in presence to loving them in absence How our relationships continue to shape us—even after loss The role of soul, spirit, and connection in navigating grief Why you are more equipped to handle grief than you may believe Terri also shares personal reflections on losing her father and grandmother, offering a vulnerable look into how grief can open the door to deeper connection, awareness, and even spiritual growth. This episode is both grounding and expansive—a reminder that while loss changes everything, it doesn't end the relationship. It transforms it. If you've ever been told to "move on" or "find closure," this conversation offers a different path—one rooted in connection, meaning, and the evolution of love. 🎧 Listen now and discover how grief can become an invitation to live, love, and carry forward what matters most.

What happens when life doesn't go according to plan—and you realize it was never meant to? In this powerful episode of Roots+Rebirth™, Terri R. Broussard sits down with resilience expert, author, and speaker Courtney Clark to explore what it really means to navigate life's unexpected turns with courage, clarity, and ownership. Courtney shares her deeply personal journey—from surviving a life-altering traumatic event to rebuilding her identity, redefining resilience, and choosing to live with intention instead of fear. This conversation is not about bouncing back. It's about moving forward with truth, agency, and grace. Together, Terri and Courtney unpack how resilience isn't something we're born with—it's something we build. And sometimes, the most powerful rebirth comes from the moments we never asked for. This episode is a call to reclaim your narrative, honor your growth, and lead your life from a place of deep alignment. What We Talk About Courtney's personal story of trauma and survival The difference between "bouncing back" and moving forward How to redefine resilience on your own terms Letting go of the life you planned to embrace the life you have The role of mindset in navigating adversity How to take ownership of your story without minimizing your pain Leading with authenticity after life-changing experiences Why resilience is a practice, not a destination Key Takeaways Resilience is not about returning to who you were—it's about becoming who you are now You don't have to minimize your pain to move forward with power Your story is yours to own, rewrite, and reclaim Unexpected moments can become defining turning points for growth Healing and leadership often happen at the same time You can choose meaning, even when you didn't choose the moment Where to Find Courtney and Terri Website: https://courtneyclark.com/ Instagram: @courtney_l_clark Website: https://terribroussard.com/ Instagram: @terrirbroussard & @rootsandrebirthpodcast

In this episode of Roots+Rebirth™, Terri R. Broussard sits down with one of her oldest Austin friends, Stacy Armijo, a senior banking executive who made a bold pivot after a 17 year career in marketing. This conversation centers on a feeling many people quietly carry. Everything looks fine. The career works. The life works. But something does not feel right. Stacy shares how she navigated that internal disconnect, from leaving a long held identity to stepping into an entirely new industry, all while facing a life changing health diagnosis and redefining what fulfillment truly means. This episode is about clarity, courage, and choosing yourself even when there is no obvious reason to leave.  What We Talk About:  Stacy's journey from PR executive to banking leader What it feels like to leave a long held identity Why your real skill is not your title, it is your ability to learn Navigating a breast cancer diagnosis and reclaiming agency Making life decisions when everything is "fine" but not aligned How to think about family when making difficult decisions The difference between fear based decisions and faith led ones Why honoring your needs changes everything. Key Takeaways: You are not your title, you are the constant across every environment Clarity often comes slowly, not through one defining moment Hard decisions are not always about escaping something bad Choosing a new future does not mean your past was wrong If you do not honor your needs, they will surface anyway.

In this episode of Roots + Rebirth, Terri Broussard sits down with Louisiana native and visionary choreographer Kristin Daniel to explore what happens after the spotlight. Most people know Kristin as the creative force behind the viral LSU Tiger Girls routines that lit up the UDA "Dance Super Bowl." But beyond the arena, beyond the standing ovations, and beyond the social media shares, there is a deeper story unfolding. This conversation is about craft, discipline, identity, faith, and what it means to reposition yourself in real time. From starting dance at age three in Lafayette to training in elite ballet programs and assisting industry legends, Kristin's journey has been marked by ambition and excellence. She danced professionally in Los Angeles, worked on projects including Glee and Grey's Anatomy, and eventually stepped into her own voice as a choreographer. Most recently, her work with the LSU Tiger Girls captured national attention and introduced new audiences to the power, precision, and performance quality of the team. But this episode goes beyond viral moments. Kristin opens up about closing her pre-professional studio after five years and stepping off what she describes as the hamster wheel. She shares what it feels like to move from constant production into a season of intentional stillness, reading the Bible daily, reconnecting with God, and redefining success. In this conversation, we explore: The pivot from ballerina dreams to commercial dance Graduating college in three years and the cost of always being on go  Working on major television and commercial projects  How she connected with the LSU Tiger Girls and developed a signature creative voice What really happens after a routine goes viral Leadership inside high-pressure environments The courage to close a business and reposition in the commercial dance space Learning to say no without guilt Choosing balcony perspective over dance floor chaos Kristin speaks candidly about being a Black woman from the South in high-performance spaces and the cultural expectation to always push forward. She reflects on this season of grounding not as a pause in her career, but as preparation for what is next. If you have ever achieved something significant and still felt called to realign, this episode will resonate deeply. About Kristin Daniel: Kristin Daniel is a choreographer and creative leader known for her dynamic and emotionally resonant work with the LSU Tiger Girls. With a foundation in ballet, jazz, and commercial dance, she has worked alongside some of the most recognized names in the industry and brings both technical precision and cultural storytelling to every stage she touches.

Mattie Duppler has spent her career close to power, on Capitol Hill, in media, and inside high-stakes policy environments, but she's also lived through the quieter, personal cost that comes with it. In this episode, Terri and Mattie explore their shared roots in ambition and public service, and the moment rebirth begins: when you step away, tell the truth, and choose to rebuild a life that actually fits.
