Sometimes, God’s call to purpose comes in the form of heartbreak. Sometimes, the very thing that breaks you is the very thing that awakens you to your deepest potential.
In this episode, I’m speaking with Paula Hollis, a transformational speaker, author, and certified life transitions coach, about how loss can become a catalyst for purpose, intentionality, and legacy.
Paula shares her personal journey from the heartbreak of losing her husband to discovering renewed strength and direction, offering practical steps for moving from grief to growth.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by grief or uncertain how to move forward, this conversation is a reminder that even in the hardest seasons, you can honor the love you have lost, lean on God’s strength, and move forward with intentionality.
