Kelly and I — LiYana Silver, host of Waking Up in Heartbreak — talk about heartbreak, shame, and power: an exploration of what happens when a woman stops conforming to the script she was given and begins rebuilding from what is actually true.
In this episode, look and listen for:
- Why heartbreak often precedes our most meaningful transformations.
- How to stop asking “What’s wrong with me?” and start seeing the bigger forces shaping our lives.
- The hidden relationship between your shame, your power, and women’s conditioning.
I love this hair-raising, heart-melting conversation about the power we can only retrieve from right smack in our crying-on-the-bathroom-floor moments.I know you will too.
