In this heartfelt Part 2, Michanda welcomes producer and entrepreneur Sonia Park to explore how she moved from fight to flow through some of life’s hardest seasons. Sonia opens up about caregiving for her late husband Craig through multiple medical crises (including being clinically gone eight times—one for 24 minutes), the toll of living in survival mode, and the moment she chose the “holy pause” over control. She shares practical ways to ground during panic, reframes faith as a portal to alignment, and explains how letting go (not giving up) created space for unexpected provision, purpose, and working in flow—without force. Together, we redefine success from outer achievement to inner harmony, presence, and trust.
