Guest: Claudette Milner
What happens when life changes in a moment—and you have to discover who you are on the other side of it?
In this episode of Glow in the Dark Podcast, I’m joined by Claudette Milner, award-winning author, empowerment coach, international Christian speaker, stroke survivor, and author of Transformation: Identify Your Why.
Claudette brings both lived experience and faith to a powerful conversation about what happens when an unexpected season changes the life you thought you were going to have—and God begins revealing something new.
After experiencing a life-altering stroke, Claudette faced physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual challenges that forced her to rebuild and rediscover herself.
What could have been the end of her story became part of her testimony.
IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:
- Going from a life-changing stroke to discovering God-given purpose
- How faith helped Claudette navigate recovery
- What happens when your old life no longer looks the same
- Turning pain into purpose
- Rediscovering yourself after an unexpected life change
- Finding your “why” in difficult seasons
- How God can use the very seasons that break us to reveal new strength and calling
- Claudette’s five-step transformation framework
- Why transformation requires growth spiritually, mentally, physically, and educationally
- Encouragement for women who are still in the middle of their story
