Transcript
- promo 3: Hello friends. Can I tell you something? I think somewhere along the way, a lot of us have disappeared. Not all at once and not dramatically, trust me. Little pieces at a time that you didn't even probably notice. You know what? We became what everybody needed us to be. And a great employee, a successful woman. A mama, a wife, a good friend. Dang, someone who had it all together basically, right? And you know what, somewhere in all that, we quietly stopped asking ourselves one important question, which is, where did I go? I am Kelly McGurk, and welcome to all the light she found. You guessed it, I'm she, I'm the one. And the light I found came on a long journey. I've spent over 30 years sitting in rooms with people just like you and me actually, and talking about the hard things and walking people through journeys in their hardest times of loss or grief or trauma or Divorce or just carrying this heavy narrative about who we are and who we're supposed to be and it doesn't even fit anymore. But here's what I've learned. Healing isn't something that I teach, it's something that I've had to live. And boy have I lived it. So in the last couple of years, my own life changed in ways that I could have never imagined myself. I lost my husband. I've walked through unimaginable grief. I have been with people I love during devastating diagnoses, hard news, tough times, and I've questioned who I was outside of caretaking for everybody else during that. And somewhere inside all that, guys, I started finding pieces of myself again. Not because life became easy, trust me, but because I finally stopped running for myself. You know what? That's why this podcast exists. Because I don't think I'm the only one. Actually, I know I'm not the only one, girls. The ones who ask themselves, who the heck am I and what do I like? I don't even know who I am anymore. Do you know how many times I hear that in my life, in my office, and with my friends? Maybe you've always been one thing and now you don't even think you like that anymore. You've probably built some freaking incredible life and you have kids that are amazing and marriages that are stable. You're probably the strong one for everybody but inside, man, you're exhausted. Maybe disconnected, sometimes feeling lonely. Isn't that how it goes? We take care of everybody else and somehow we're lonely? and you sit around and you wonder why happiness feels hard now when you should be happy. There's no perfect answers here, just honest conversations about trying to become more of yourself. Guess what? Because coming home to yourself isn't becoming something new or someone new, it's actually coming back to yourself. So, welcome to all the lights you found. And I want to remind you guys, trust me, girlfriend, there's a lot of life and light left inside of you. And I would love to be a part of your journey back to yourself. So come with me every week. It'll either be just me or I'll have some of my favorite people on here to talk about the hard things. We're going to laugh. We might cry. But guess what? Dang, it's gonna be good So welcome and if you followed me back in the day, it's a girl get woke welcome back It's been a long time and I'm glad to be back with you. I Can't wait for you to start finding those little lights
