In this episode, life coach and author Jonathan Aslay shares his powerful journey of moving through grief, loss, and personal transformation to rediscover love and purpose. Once a successful corporate professional, Jonathan’s life was shaken by divorce, financial collapse, and the heartbreaking loss of his teenage son. Rather than being defined by despair, he chose to channel his pain into healing and growth, ultimately writing What the Heck is Self-Love Anyway? and dedicating his work to helping others navigate relationships after 40. Through his story, Jonathan offers profound insights on the importance of self-love, building relationships on friendship and intentionality, and choosing love daily—even in the face of life’s deepest challenges.
