Starting Over at 48: I Fired My Team, Ended My Biggest Love, and Flew to India – With D’Arcy Benincosa

About:

For the first time, the whole story of the last two years — told from the other side. In this episode:

• The heroine’s journey — the map: the hero comes home with the treasure; the heroine realizes she is the treasure, and she is the home
• The launch that cracked it open: 21 yeses where 90 used to say yes — and the sentence that took over
• December 2024: the call that was harder than the breakup — and why it turned out to be the first brave decision of the rebirth
• THE VALUES AUDIT — five signs your season is a values change, not a collapse: (1) the wins land flat, (2) you’re still funding your old self, (3) you envy the “wrong” people, (4) you keep changing the strategy but never question the goal, (5) “it’s not working” has become a sentence instead of a fact
• Tonight’s ten-minute exercise: your calendar + your bank statement — still, or was
• What ten days of silence in India returned — and what the new values are building now (new episodes every Tuesday and Friday, starting this week)
