In this episode, I share a profound experience I had with a group of elder rescue horses at a retreat I hosted—and how they helped me see strength in a different way.A circle formed with four horses, six women, and two dogs, all coming together by some unseen force. And in that circle, the horses showed us that strength doesn’t have to be about dominance or power.That experience led me to reflect on my own leadership and the qualities I once believed made a leader “strong”—qualities I didn’t possess. I’ve come to understand that my quieter way of leading—listening, reflecting, creating space, and bringing different perspectives together—is its own kind of strength.It’s what I bring to the circle.This episode asks you to consider: What do you bring that strengthens your circle?

In this episode, I’m joined by Tanya Chomyk, author of Bringing Light to Loss, for a deeply moving conversation about grief, loss, resilience, and finding our way forward when life changes in ways we never expected.Tanya shares her deeply personal journey of losing her infant son and the many years it took to find meaning in that loss. We talk about allowing ourselves to truly feel our emotions, creating anchors to hold onto when life feels unsteady, and learning to have a relationship with grief rather than trying to push it away.Tanya also introduces her powerful distinction between “clean pain” and “dirty pain,” and shares her five-step approach to navigating loss and major life transitions: creating a safe space to feel, practicing self-compassion, finding moments of joy and gratitude, seeking connection when we’re ready, and pacing our pain.This is a conversation about love, loss, healing, and the quiet ways resilience is built over time. And perhaps most importantly, it’s a reminder that we don’t have to see the light right away. Sometimes, we simply need to take the next breath, trust the process, and allow healing to unfold quietly.About Tanya ChomykTania Chomyk is a life transition expert, award-winning resilience speaker, and grief educator. With over 30 years of experience in higher education, career development, and personal growth, she helps people move through life’s toughest moments with clarity, courage, and compassion. Her work is rooted in both lived experience and professional expertise. After losing her infant son unexpectedly, Tania’s world shifted. That loss became the spark for a new path—one focused on healing with purpose and supporting others through grief, major life changes, and the journey of finding themselves again. Her debut book, Bringing Light to Loss, is a powerful reflection on grief, love, and the strength it takes to rebuild your life. A portion of proceeds supports the Child Life Program at the Montreal Children’s Hospital, keeping her son’s legacy alive by bringing joy to kids who need it most.

Sometimes the most ordinary moments have a way of getting our attention. In this short reflection, I share two unexpected encounters with a hummingbird that led me to a deeper question about trust. As I explored the gap between what I say I believe and what I actually trust when life feels uncertain, I was reminded that perhaps the invitation isn't to strive harder, but to soften my grip and trust the unfolding. I hope this story offers you a gentle pause to reflect on your own journey.Order Your Copy of Whispers of the Soul here: https://mybook.to/Whispersofthesoul About Anita AdamsI’m Anita Adams, your host and the founder of Joyful Inspired Living, an organization devoted to teaching The Wisdom Way—a practice that helps individuals reconnect with their authentic selves and create lives filled with meaning, well-being, and joy.
