Have you ever faced a crisis that tested your resilience and self-awareness? Are you needing to find peace amidst the chaos of significant life changes?

Joining me today again is my co-host and dear friend Lauren and together we explore the profound themes of mind shifts, grief, and new beginnings. This episode was very difficult to do, but I opened up about my personal journey through a major crisis following my divorce. 

We talk about important topics like:

• Leadership in Crisis: Bianca shares the raw and real challenges she faced while leading her church through a turbulent period.
• The Role of Therapy: The conversation delves into the necessity of therapy and its transformative power in processing grief and loss.
• Resilience and Self-Care: Bianca's journey emphasizes the importance of taking time for self-care and seeking help when needed, providing inspiration for others navigating their own struggles.
• Identity and Community: The episode highlights the importance of maintaining one’s identity outside of the church and the power of community in fostering personal growth.
• Intentional Relationships: The dialogue underscores the significance of intentional relationships and leadership development.
• Finding Peace Amidst Chaos: Bianca discusses her journey of self-discovery, grieving, and finding excitement in new beginnings within her church community.

Friend, I want to highlight the importance of community support, self-awareness, and resilience during challenging times. 

Let us know if this episode has helped you find strength and hope through adversity by tagging and me @biancaolthoff and @laurenbronsonpetrous
