What happens when everything you’ve built begins to fall apart? In this episode, my guest Kristen Petronio shares what it was like to walk through seasons of deep grief, depression, and uncertainty, and the ways faith, therapy, and slowing down helped her begin to rebuild. We talk about the courage it takes to surrender control, how to live with more intention, and why the most difficult seasons can carry the greatest gifts. Remember, it’s never too late to rediscover who you are and create boundaries that protect your peace.
