Cecilia Bailey One Step at a Time: Rising Into a Reimagined Life After Loss

Send us a text

In this powerful and deeply inspiring episode, Melissa welcomes Transformation Coach and Naturopath Cecilia Bailey to share her extraordinary story of overcoming adversity, rebuilding her life, and helping others navigate identity shifts and transitions.

Cecilia opens up about her life-changing experience with a brain bleed that left her having to relearn how to walk and talk, the loss of a pregnancy, and the way skydiving, community, and sheer determination helped her find purpose and joy again. Together, Melissa and Cecilia explore what it means to keep moving forward - one small step at a time - while embracing challenges with courage, humor, and heart.

Stay tuned until the end for a special gift from Cecilia: a guided meditation called “I Am” to help you connect with your own inner strength and resilience.

Key Takeaways:

• How passion and community support can become lifelines during recovery and major life transitions
• The power of maintaining a forward-looking mindset, even in the face of uncertainty or loss
• Why values-based identity creates a stronger foundation than action-based identity
• The role of persistence, coaching, and self-compassion in overcoming adversity
• Practical ways to integrate rehabilitation, resilience, and purpose into daily life

Reflection for Listeners:

•  Where in your life do you need to take one small step forward rather than wait for the perfect plan?
• How could you lean more on your community or passions to support you through challenges?
• Are there places where shifting from an action-based identity to a values-based one would bring more peace and freedom?
