I'm recording this on the day my grandmother passed away at 96 years old. Within hours of saying goodbye to one of the most important women in my life, I experienced unexpected opportunities in my business, shifting relationships, and a profound reminder that life is almost never just one thing. It's joy and grief. Heartbreak and hope. Endings and beginnings. All happening at the same time. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of the past two weeks—from reconnecting with my family on Vancouver Island, to the story behind a photo of my grandma, my daughter, and me that changed the way I see my own life. I share the moment I knew I was leaving Mirra's dad, the gift my grandma gave me that helped build my business, and the realization that I'm no longer becoming the Wildly Wealthy Woman... I finally feel like I am her. If you've been waiting for life to settle down before sharing your gifts, starting your business, or showing up more fully, I hope this conversation reminds you that you don't have to wait. Sometimes showing up is part of the healing. In this episode, we explore: Why life is almost never "one thing" and how to hold grief and gratitude at the same time. The story behind the 2018 photo of my grandma, Mirra, and me—and why it means so much today. The moment I knew it was time to leave my eight-year relationship and choose a different future. What my grandmother taught me about resilience, leadership, and leaving a legacy. The $1,000 gift that changed the course of my life and business forever. Why belief is one of the greatest gifts we can give another person. How supporting my own family through tapping became a 15-year dream fulfilled.… ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/wildly-wealthy-woman-podcast-6826348/episodes/grief-growth-choosing-to-show-up-anyway/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/wildly-wealthy-woman-podcast-6826348/grief-growth-choosing-to-show-up-anyway.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
