You know it’s true that “I’m fine” is actually quiet self-abandonment. In this raw solo episode, Sheila reflects on vitality, grief, and coming back to life.
In this deeply honest, unscripted episode of Crazy Beautiful Truth, Sheila pauses the interviews to reconnect—with you, and with herself. Six episodes in, she explores why this podcast exists, how the name came to be, and what it really means to love ourselves back to life.
Drawing on 20+ years as an executive and leadership coach—and her own journey through loss, burnout, joy, and creativity—Sheila opens up about:
✨ Why “I’m fine” is often the beginning of quiet self-abandonment
💡 How grief, resentment, and money stories subtly steal our vitality
🌀 The soul-whispers we ignore—and how to finally listen
💬 The power of community, self-reflection, and “me-search”
🧭 What it looks like to welcome lost parts of yourself back home
If you’ve ever felt like you're going through the motions, quietly quitting on yourself, or just yearning to feel fully alive again—this episode is for you.
