   #107 Finding Faith Through Loss, Grief & Life's Hardest Seasons with Rachel Kerr Schneider

   Welcome back to Embody Your Empress with Sarah King, host of the podcast and founder of Empress Nation. What if the hardest season of your life could eventually become part of your greatest purpose? In this deeply honest and inspiring conversation, Sarah is joined by Rachel Kerr Schneider — speaker, award-winning author of The Widow Chose Red?, and the voice behind the Spirited Prosperity message. Rachel brings warmth, humour, faith and powerful storytelling to a conversation about what happens when life takes us somewhere we never expected to go. Rachel shares her extraordinary journey through love, loss, caregiving, grief and rebuilding a life she never imagined having to create. After losing her husband, John, to ALS (also known as motor neurone disease/MND), Rachel speaks openly about the reality of watching someone you love face a devastating illness, the exhaustion and isolation that can come with caregiving, and the profound lessons that emerge through experiences we would never have chosen. But this conversation isn't only about grief. It is about faith when you don't understand what is happening. It is about questioning God, being angry, crying, screaming — and even, as Rachel so memorably puts it, "yelling at Jesus." Rachel shares how her relationship with Jesus deepened through one of the most difficult periods of her life, and why she believes we don't have to hide our anger, fear, frustration or questions from God. Instead, faith can be about relationship — having the courage to bring our whole selves into the conversation. Sarah and Rachel also explore the powerful reminder that we don't have to do everything alone. Rachel reflects on the moment a therapist reminded her that even Jesus surrounded himself with people and accepted help — a beautiful lesson in allowing ourselves to receive support when life becomes too much. Together, Sarah and Rachel explore: ✨ Finding faith during life's hardest seasons ✨ Grief, loss and learning to live again ✨ The reality of caregiving and supporting someone through a terminal illness ✨ ALS / motor neurone disease and Rachel's personal experience ✨ Why your pain can become someone else's testimony ✨ Learning to ask for help and allowing others to support you ✨ Trusting God when life doesn't make sense ✨ Having an honest relationship with Jesus ✨ Finding purpose through adversity ✨ Embracing the season of life you're currently in ✨ Rebuilding after devastating loss ✨ Courage, resilience and hope ✨ Moving from "happily ever after" to a life that can still be abundant and beautiful ✨ Allowing Spirit to lead you towards a life of meaning and success Rachel's message is ultimately one of hope. She reminds us that the season you're in right now isn't necessarily where your story ends. The struggle may be real. The grief may be overwhelming. The future may look completely different from what you imagined. But there can still be another chapter. There can still be purpose. There can still be joy. And there can still be an unexpected, abundant life waiting on the other side. Rachel Kerr Schneider is a speaker, award-winning author of The Widow Chose Red? and the voice behind the Spirited Prosperity message. With warmth, humour and powerful storytelling, she inspires audiences to lead themselves first and live with courage, faith and purpose. Drawing from an extraordinary life journey, Rachel challenges people to step fully into their calling and pursue lives of meaning and success — because where Spirit leads, success follows. This episode is for anyone who has experienced grief, loss, caregiving, uncertainty, a major life transition or a season where nothing seems to be going according to plan. And it's especially for anyone who needs the reminder that you are allowed to question, you are allowed to ask for help, you are allowed to be angry, and you are allowed to keep going. Sometimes the path we never would have chosen becomes the path that reveals who we were always becoming. ABOUT SARAH KING & EMBODY YOUR EMPRESS Embody Your Empress is hosted by Sarah King, founder of Empress Nation — a space created to inspire women to step into their power, explore their potential and embody the woman they are becoming. Through open, soulful and often unexpected conversations, Sarah explores what it means to become more fully yourself — questioning what is possible, following the signs and perspectives that call you forward, and embracing the journey of becoming the best version of who you are. Embody Your Empress is for women who feel that inner pull that there is more — more purpose, more possibility, more connection, more courage and more life waiting to be explored. Because becoming your Empress isn't about becoming someone else. It's about discovering who you were always meant to be — and having the courage to embody her.

   #106 Ten Seconds to Midnight: Finding the Courage to Become Who You Were Created to Be with Tova Citrin

   What happens when life cracks everything open... and the version of you that you have carefully built no longer fits who you are becoming? In this deeply honest and thought-provoking episode of Embody Your Empress, host Sarah King, founder of Empress Nation, is joined by Tova Citrin... a technology executive, author, songwriter, speaker and spiritual creative who is living proof that you do not have to choose between the different parts of yourself. By day, Tova works in the world of technology, AI trust and safety, and global operations. By night, she is the author of the spiritual thriller Ten Seconds to Midnight and the creative force behind Aviya Sage, where she writes original music exploring healing, purpose, faith, transformation and the human experience. But Tova's journey to living authentically has not been a simple one. After experiencing serious illness in her late twenties, personal loss, professional upheaval, war, single motherhood and profound moments of spiritual awakening, Tova found herself asking some of life's biggest questions... Who am I when the things I thought defined me are taken away? What happens when we keep hiding parts of ourselves because we believe they do not fit into the life we have built? And perhaps most importantly... Do we have the courage to become who we were created to be? Sarah and Tova dive into the reality of spiritual awakening while still trying to function in the everyday world. They explore what it feels like to wear different masks in different environments, the fear of being seen for who you truly are, and the powerful moments when life forces us to stop, reassess and finally choose ourselves. Tova shares how a severe illness became the catalyst for her spiritual journey, reconnecting her with healing, energy work, Judaism and a deeper understanding of herself. She also opens up about spending years separating her professional identity from her spiritual and creative side... until a professional betrayal and unexpected career upheaval pushed her to finally bring all parts of herself into the light. After writing Ten Seconds to Midnight over many years and leaving it sitting unpublished, Tova eventually made the decision to release it into the world. She began creating music, embraced AI as part of her creative process and stepped into a far more public expression of who she truly is. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that sometimes our darkest seasons are not the end of the story. Sometimes they are the doorway. Sarah and Tova also explore the messy, uncomfortable and often unseen reality of healing. Because healing is not always beautiful. Sometimes it looks like sitting with yourself, crying, questioning everything, disappearing from the outside world for a while and allowing yourself the space to go inward. They talk about the importance of feeling without becoming consumed by the feeling... creating space for grief, regulating the nervous system and continuing to ask the bigger questions that keep us moving, growing and connected to purpose. Tova also shares how creativity has become one of her greatest forms of healing. From writing lyrics and music to transforming difficult life experiences into stories, songs and even humour, she explains how creating can transform pain into something meaningful... and perhaps even create a ripple that reaches someone who needs it most. As a woman living in Israel, Tova also offers a deeply personal perspective on resilience, community, presence and finding moments of gratitude while living through war. She shares how focusing on the present moment, allowing space for emotion and leaning on community have helped her navigate circumstances that many of us can only imagine from afar. At the heart of this episode is a powerful message... You do not need to wait until you feel fearless. You do not need to be perfect. You do not need everyone to understand you. And you do not need permission to be who you truly are. If there is a dream inside you... a book you want to write, music you want to create, a business you want to start, a conversation you want to have or a version of yourself that has been waiting quietly in the background... this episode is your reminder that there may never be a better time than now. Because your authenticity has a ripple effect. Your creativity matters. Your voice matters. And becoming more of who you are might just give someone else permission to do the same. In this episode, we explore: What happens when life forces you to question who you really are Spiritual awakening and trying to fit into the expectations of everyday life The courage to stop hiding different parts of yourself Why career success does not always mean soul alignment Navigating professional betrayal, unexpected change and starting again The dark night of the soul and the messy reality of healing How to feel your emotions without becoming completely consumed by them The importance of creating space for grief and emotional processing Creativity as a tool for healing and transformation How Tova uses AI as part of her music creation process Turning painful life experiences into art, stories and music Why one small act of creativity can create a powerful ripple effect Living with uncertainty and finding resilience in difficult circumstances Community, gratitude and presence during challenging times Letting go of perfectionism and the need to be liked by everyone Why you are already good enough while still allowing yourself to grow The courage to pursue your dreams at any age Why it is never too late to become more fully yourself About Tova Citrin Tova Citrin is a technology executive, author, songwriter and speaker living in Israel. She leads global operations in the AI trust and safety space while also embracing her passion for spirituality, storytelling, music and creative expression. She is the author of Ten Seconds to Midnight, a spiritual thriller inspired by Jewish mysticism, Kabbalah, redemption, healing and the idea that it is never too late to confront what is broken and begin again. Tova is also the creator behind Aviya Sage, where she writes and releases original music exploring healing, faith, purpose and transformation. Her work is rooted in the belief that our greatest challenges can often become the doorway to our deepest purpose... and that authenticity, creativity and courage can create a ripple far beyond what we can see.

   #105 Trust Your Intuition, Rest, Reset & Reconnect With Your Soul with Tania Ho

   What happens when life falls apart... and instead of searching for the answers outside of yourself, you learn to trust what is already within? In this beautiful and soul-nourishing episode of Embody Your Empress, Sarah King is joined by Tania Ho, an Intuitive Soul Guide, spiritual teacher and the founder of Museflower Retreat & Spa in Chiang Rai, Thailand. Tania helps people reconnect with their heart, mind and soul through intuition development, oracle guidance and energy tools. Her own journey has taken her from Hong Kong to Thailand, through grief, loss, a dark night of the soul and a powerful lesson in learning to trust herself. After the death of her father, Tania began questioning the life she was living and what truly mattered to her. Her journey eventually led her to attend her first retreat... an experience that would change the direction of her life. Today, Tania is the founder and owner of Museflower Retreat & Spa, an all-inclusive vegetarian wellness retreat centre surrounded by nature in Chiang Rai, Thailand. Through yoga, meditation, spa experiences, soulful retreats and wellness practices, she creates space for people to step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with themselves. But this conversation is about so much more than retreats... Sarah and Tania dive deep into intuition, emotional healing, rest, nervous system regulation, spiritual growth, energy, motherhood, self-trust and what it really means to live a soul-led life. They explore why sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is not more... But pause. Rest. Feel. And allow ourselves the space to hear what our soul has been trying to tell us. 👑🌸 In this episode, we explore: ✨ Tania's journey from Hong Kong to creating a retreat centre in Thailand ✨ How grief and loss can become a catalyst for change ✨ What happens when your life or plans fall apart... and how to find your way back to yourself ✨ Tania's experience of her own dark night of the soul ✨ Why we should never place spiritual teachers or healers on a pedestal ✨ Learning to trust your own intuition and inner authority ✨ How to tell the difference between your intuition and the noise of your mind ✨ What it means to live a truly soul-led life ✨ Why you do not need to be perfectly healed to support others ✨ The power of retreats to create space, clarity and transformation ✨ Why stepping away from your everyday environment can help you see your life differently ✨ Emotional release and what happens when we finally give ourselves permission to feel ✨ The ways we numb, distract and disconnect from our emotions ✨ Motherhood, mental load and the importance of having space just for yourself ✨ Why rest is not laziness ✨ Nervous system regulation and the healing power of slowing down ✨ Meditation, yoga, Qigong and reconnecting with your body ✨ The benefits of massage, human connection and therapeutic touch ✨ How emotional experiences can be held within the body ✨ The role of vegetarian food and nourishing practices during wellness and healing experiences ✨ Why integration is just as important as the retreat or healing experience itself ✨ Highly sensitive people, energy awareness and learning to protect your energy ✨ The importance of opening yourself to new perspectives, visions and possibilities ✨ Letting go of the need to know exactly how everything will happen ✨ And the powerful reminder that sometimes inspiration comes when we stop chasing it... This episode is a beautiful invitation to take a breath and ask yourself... When was the last time you truly gave yourself permission to pause? Not to be productive. Not to fix something. Not to figure everything out. But simply to be. Because sometimes, when we finally quieten the noise, put down the distractions and step away from the endless demands of life... We can finally hear ourselves again. And maybe that voice you have been searching for all along... Is your own intuition. 👑 Your Empress is waiting for you to listen. 🌸 ABOUT TANIA HO Tania Ho is an Intuitive Soul Guide who helps people find clarity, confidence and courage to live a more soulful life.
