#29 - The Common Denominator: How Taking Radical Responsibility Can Set You Free

Beauty, if you’ve ever walked away from a relationship, sat in silence with a broken heart, or stared at the ceiling wondering “Why does this keep happening to me?” — this episode is for you.

In this raw and healing solo episode, I invite you into one of the most transformative chapters of my own journey — my second divorce, the grief of letting go, and the wild beauty of realizing that I was the common denominator.

This one’s not about blame, it’s about deep self-awareness. It’s about reclaiming your power as a midlife woman navigating loss, reinvention, immigration, awakening, and love in all its messy, sacred forms. It’s about shedding the victim mask and becoming the observer, the chooser, the creator of a life that actually feels good to live.

💫 In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

• What happens when you realize you’ve been the common thread in your own painful patterns — and how that can be your greatest portal to healing.
• A tender story of grief, London streets, Indian food, and the quiet kind of friendship that saves your soul.
• Why meditation was the threshold that helped me shift from autopilot to conscious creator.
• How I started becoming my own best friend — and how you can too.
• The power of unlearning: rewriting the beliefs, behaviors, and inner vocabulary that were quietly keeping me stuck.

🦋 Reflection Questions

1. Where in your life do you notice a repeating pattern — and what might it be trying to teach you about yourself?
2. How do you speak to yourself when no one else is listening — would you say those same words to a dear friend?
3. What outdated beliefs or “life checklists” are ready to be released so you can create a more joyful, peaceful life on your terms?
