"You can be broken, messy, and still rise stronger than you ever imagined."
In this episode, I’m speaking with Dr. Stella Safo, Founder of Just Equity for Health, about standing up in the face of challenges and finding purpose through hardship.We talk about the difficult spaces she has navigated, including a toxic work environment, gender discrimination, workplace abuse, fertility struggles, pregnancy loss, and raising her two children, while still working to create positive change in healthcare.
If you have faced setbacks, felt overwhelmed by life’s pressures, or are trying to make sense of your own difficult seasons, this episode will remind you that resilience, hope, and small steps forward can still light the way.
