Episode Synopsis "My Five-Year Winter: How a Blindsided Breakup and Stormy Nights Led to My Second Book"

In this 4-part mini-series we will dive into how nature’s seasons mirror our own personal growth. In this first episode featuring Winter, I draw from my own years of navigating a five-year long ‘personal winter’ that I thought would never end. From a life-altering breakup to deep self-discovery and healing—I explore how the harsh, cold moments often push us to assess, reframe, and make space for new growth. Just like nature, we all experience seasons in life. Some quiet, some turbulent, but all with purpose. When we open ourselves to explore them, we uncover lessons that shape who we are. Join me as I dive into a journey of transformation, resilience, and the powerful wisdom nature has to offer. At the end of each episode, I share a self-discovery prompt from my second book, *Thank You for Dumping Me*.

It’s raw and real, with witty humor and a lot of heart! Readers have described Thank You for Dumping Me as a genre of its own—memoir-meets-novel—and a book they “couldn’t put down,” a “real page-turner.” I am on a mission to rebrand breakups from something to be feared, dreaded, and full of sorrow to opportunities for growth, self-discovery, and life course redirects.
