What happens when you lose the version of yourself you've spent decades becoming?
In this powerful and intimate conversation, Dr. Steffany Moonaz invites us into a year that dismantled everything familiar—her sense of identity, stability, intellect, and control. It was a year of heartbreak and upheaval: a traumatic brain injury, the death of her mother, separation from her partner and one child, and the constant pull of caretaking for everyone.
For someone whose life had always been defined by structure, logic, and scientific rigor, the loss of her cognitive abilities was more than a personal crisis—it was an existential reckoning.
But this episode isn’t just about loss. It’s about what comes after.
Steffany’s story is a living invitation to those standing at the edge of the unknown—when the map runs out and you’re forced to chart a new path from within.
We talk about:
Steffany is a scientist, a seeker, and a woman whose path now lives between worlds—between logic and grace, grief and celebration, selflessness and deep self-knowing.
"There is a before-me and an after-me. And I’m learning to honor who I’ve become without mourning who I used to be."
This episode is for anyone who has had to begin again—when the plan broke, the identity shifted, or life whispered a new direction.
