What if the very thing you thought would break you was actually the thing that brought you back to life?
In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend and first business coach, Luly B. Carreras, to talk about a season in her life that most of us can only imagine surviving. In 2018, she discovered her husband of 20 years had been unfaithful, and what followed was a painful divorce, the unraveling of life as she knew it, and the kind of heartbreak that leaves you curled up on the bathroom floor, struggling to breathe.
But here’s what makes her story so powerful: Luly chose grace. She chose to walk through betrayal, grief, and loss with faith as her anchor. And in that fire, she found resilience, community, and ultimately, redemption.
This conversation is about more than divorce; it’s about what happens when life takes away the picture you had of “family” and forces you to redefine it. It’s about parenting through heartbreak and modeling strength without hiding the humanity of your tears. It’s about the sacredness of community, letting people hold you when you can’t stand on your own, and remembering that we don’t have to be strong on our own because God’s strength meets us in our weakness.
Luly shares how pain became her teacher, how grace shaped the way she moved through divorce, and how abundance and love re-entered her life when she least expected it. Today, she’s remarried with a blended family and running a business built on service, faith, and joy.
If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “How do I survive betrayal? How do I rebuild after divorce? How do I let love back in after being broken?”, this episode will meet you right where you are.
My prayer is that as you listen, you’ll be reminded that brokenness isn’t the end of your story. God can use the very pain that crushed you to rebuild you into who you were always meant to be.
