Loss As An Invitation
In this episode, Laurel Boivin explores the transformational power of loss. Losses that shake our identity — the end of a job, a relationship, a dream — also bring opportunities to rediscover ourselves more authentically.
Through her own story of career loss and reinvention, Laurel shares how listening deeply, even when fear is louder than hope, can lead to a life of greater meaning, purpose, and connection.
If you’re navigating a season of uncertainty, feeling the ache of loss, or standing on the edge of change, this episode offers gentle guidance, inspiration, and practical tools to help you move forward — one courageous step at a time.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
* How to view loss as an opening, not just an ending
* Practical tools to support you through grief and change
* The value of small steps, self-trust, and intuitive listening
* How loss invites us to live, love, and connect more deeply
