How To Rise When It All Comes Undone

A soul guide for the sacred space between the collapse and the becoming

I didn’t plan to rebuild my life from what could seem like “scratch” at this point in time at age 45. I planned to keep going, just as I had for years, while my body kept the score and my mindset quietly faded and I questioned everything I thought I knew. Panic attacks, anxiety and many sleepless nights…there was a constant hum of uncertainty beneath even the most beautiful moments.

On the outside, it all looked sort of lovely. I lived in the Hamptons, New York. I had successful business and brand. My books were on bookstore shelves, and my words reached millions. (And to be clear: they still do.)

But behind the scenes, I was unraveling.

I was tired of the performance. The awful hustle of “launch mode” and feeling like my digital footprint was not stamping the real me out there on the internet any more. I was tired of the pressure. Tired of wearing an identity that no longer felt like mine. I was calling forth a new level of me. One that could use my intuition and true creative flow in my writing, in my work as a speaker and anything I would be asked to present to the world going forward.

So the Universe intervened, as it often does when you’re walking the path of sacred manifestation. My second marriage ended. My business (somewhat) collapsed. My identity dissolved. I had to find a way forward during this transformation.

I found myself—serendipitously—in a quiet two-bedroom apartment in Green Bay, Wisconsin, with my children 50% of the time. Relearning how to breathe.
How to trust. How to receive love. How to simply be.

This piece of writing was born from that place. From the space between collapse and becoming. From the sacred stillness that whispers: Now what?
Now what the eff am I going to do?

What I’m sharing here is not a five-step strategy. It’s not a program. It’s not a course.

It’s a frequency transmission. A reclamation of self.
A gentle invitation to return to your truth—and to rise.

You don’t need to do this perfectly. You just need to begin. Let’s begin together.

The Rebuild Formula: 5 Phases of Sacred Becoming

You can move through this set of phases in one sitting, or take it one phase at a time. There’s no wrong pace. You may find yourself returning again and again, especially when the path ahead feels unclear.

Each phase includes an energetic insight and a practical integration. You can reflect, journal, meditate—or simply receive.

There is no performance here.

One thing you must remember though…
You are not broken.
You are becoming.

Let this set of 5 piece of information hold space for the real, raw, radiant you.
