32. When Life Lifes: How to Stay in Your Power When Things Don’t Go Your Way

Hey love, welcome back to Liberated, the Podcast!

Today’s episode is a real one—born straight out of life life-ing in the most unexpected way.

Ever had something completely throw you off track, whether big or small, and suddenly you’re spiraling? I so get it. That’s exactly what happened to me recently when I lost an entire podcast episode I had poured my heart into. And let me tell you, it wasn’t just about the lost episode—it was the straw that broke the poor camel's back.

Instead of letting it take me out, I leaned into a four-step process that I know works. It’s the exact method I use to move through setbacks, stay present, and keep my energy from being drained by things outside my control. And in this episode, I’m sharing it with you.

Inside this episode, I walk you through my 4-Step Process for Staying in Your Power when life throws you a curveball:

✨ Grieve – Feel it. Fully. Without judgment.

✨ Ground – Drop into your body, shift the energy, and reconnect to the present moment.

✨ Gratitude – Then shift your perspective—without bypassing your real emotions.

✨ Go – Take action. Because movement creates momentum.

Whether it’s a tech mishap, a change of plans, or a major life transition, this framework will help you move through it with grace, resilience, and power. So if you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or completely thrown off by something unexpected, this one’s for you.
