Magdalena Giovanna Rosa is a woman who has bravely navigated the tumultuous waters of divorce, loneliness, and self-discovery. Her story is one of resilience, empowerment, and the quest for self-love.
Magdalena's journey began with a typical narrative: a marriage that seemed ideal but quickly turned lonely. After 17 years of feeling disconnected, she embarked on a solo retreat during which she found the courage to confront her feelings, leading her to seek a separation from her husband. This decision, while initially liberating, was just the beginning of a tumultuous path.
But tumultuous paths can lead to remarkable insights and break throughs and so it was with Magdalena as she navigated her own loneliness and the societal pressures that often accompany divorce. Divorce, she warned, is a form of grief, And in facing that grief she also entered a period of self-discovery that led her to explore everything from poetry to burlesque dancing.
Join us as we explore the beauty of self-discovery, the importance of vulnerability, and the magic that unfolds when we choose to be present in our lives.
It's an Award Winning, Amazon best selling book!
