I had such a wonderful time sitting down with my friend Valerie Bertinelli on the Getting Naked Podcast for a conversation that was personal, honest, and filled with some of the most important lessons I’ve learned throughout my life.

We talked about my near-death experience, what happens when life completely changes the direction you thought you were heading, how trauma can become a doorway to healing, and why learning to trust your own intuition may be one of the greatest gifts you can ever give yourself.

We also explored the unseen connections that continue beyond this life, the lessons that loss can teach us, and the ways Spirit often guides us when we need it most.

What I love about Valerie is her willingness to have real conversations. The kind that remind us we are not alone in our struggles, our questions, or our healing.

If you haven’t already, I encourage you to join Valerie’s wonderful community at Valerie’s Place and order her beautiful book, Getting Naked 📖

So many people spend their lives chasing happiness… believing it’s something that finally arrives once the pain is gone, once life settles down, once everything feels healed, fixed, or certain.

But what happens when life keeps changing?
When grief stays longer than expected?
When things don’t go according to plan?

In this episode, I wanted to have a real conversation about happiness… not the polished version people perform online, but the kind that can still exist in the middle of heartbreak, uncertainty, healing, and rebuilding your life.

I talk about how trauma pulls us out of our center, why comparison disconnects us from ourselves, and why constantly chasing happiness can actually move us farther away from it.

We also talk about what it means to come back to yourself again… to create moments of peace, gratitude, connection, and presence even while life is still unfolding around you.

Because happiness is not something waiting for you at the finish line of healing.

Sometimes it’s found in the smallest moments… the moments where you finally slow down enough to reconnect with yourself again.

And that doesn’t mean pretending life doesn’t hurt. It means learning how to hold both joy and pain without losing yourself inside either one.

If you’ve already listened, I would love to hear from you. What is something that has helped you reconnect with yourself during difficult seasons?
