How to Start Over After Loss — Rebuilding Identity, Confidence, and Purpose in Midlife | Mia Godfrey
What happens when life knocks you down—not once, but again and again? In this powerful and heartfelt conversation, Wendy sits down with life coach, speaker, and author Mia Godfrey to talk about grief, identity loss, and the courage it takes to start over.
From losing her father at 18, to rebuilding her life after the death of her husband, to walking alongside her sister through ovarian cancer, Mia shares how each breakdown became a breakthrough.
Together, they explore how to release survival mode, stop shrinking to belong, and rebuild confidence from the inside out—because midlife isn’t the end of your story… it may be the beginning of your most authentic chapter yet.
✨ What You’ll Learn
- The power of journaling, therapy, and surrounding yourself with the right people
- How to shift out of survival mode and move into intentional living
- Why adapting doesn’t mean abandoning who you are
- Practical tools for rebuilding confidence after grief or major life transitions
- How to identify your non-negotiable values and stop shrinking to fit in
