Sometimes transformation doesn’t take years — it takes courage, faith, and six intentional weeks.

In this episode of Ashes to Aligned, I share how one six-week period completely shifted the direction of my life. From exhaustion and fear to clarity and freedom, I walk through the moments, miracles, and decisions that helped me finally choose myself — and say yes to the purpose I've been feeling for years.

You’ll hear:

💜 How a divinely timed weekend with two friends confirmed my calling and inspired a future retreat

💜 Why I gave my six-week notice at my day job (and the peace that followed)

💜 How I used Jack Canfield’s Success Principles to coach myself back into alignment

💜 The birth of Letting Go With Love: The Graceful Rise — a six-week journey for women ready to reclaim peace, power, and purpose

Whether you’re navigating a loved one’s addiction, recovering from years of self-sacrifice, or simply craving a more aligned life, this episode will remind you: your next six weeks could change everything, too.

Not everyone experiences the same person in the same way — even inside one family.

In this episode of Ashes to Aligned, I share a fuller picture of my dad. While his drinking shaped some of my earliest patterns, that’s not the whole of who he was.

My dad was complex, layered, deeply spiritual... and one of the kindest, most generous people you could ever meet. He also spent the last 35 years of his life sober — showing up every day as the very best version of himself.

I also share the moment when I realized just how different my brother’s perspective of our dad was from mine — and what that taught me about family, memory, and healing. Because here’s the truth: two people can experience the same person in completely different ways. Neither is wrong. Both are valid.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why siblings (or spouses, or parents) can walk away with very different versions of the same story
• How addiction, dysfunction, or stress shows up differently depending on your role in the family
• Why honoring your truth matters, even if others don’t see it the same way
• How reclaiming your perspective can be a powerful step toward healing

💌 Gentle reminder: Your truth matters. Your story is valid. And you don’t need anyone else’s approval to honor it.

Many of us, especially as women, have been handed the same script:

• Love equals sacrifice.
• A “good mother” abandons herself without complaint.
• Suffering is noble.

And we wear those beliefs like badges of honor... sometimes to the point they start to destroy us.

In this episode of Ashes to Aligned, I share the moment a stopped me in my tracks — the moment I finally realized that my life matters too. You’ll hear the story of how I moved from constant caregiving and codependency into a new truth: you can love someone deeply and still choose yourself.

Together, we’ll explore:

• How early family dynamics planted the seeds of codependency
• Why we confuse sacrifice with love (and how that belief keeps us trapped)
• The turning point in my own journey where I finally set a boundary that changed everything
• What it really means to choose yourself without abandoning the people you love

This isn’t about being selfish. It’s about breaking free from the lie of sacrifice and learning that honoring your own life is one of the most loving things you can do.

💌 Your Empowered Reflection:

Where are you sacrificing yourself in the name of love?

And what would it look like to choose yourself without guilt?
