EP 8. El Amor Dice No: Self-Advocacy, Divorce, and Choosing Yourself (In Work & in Life)

Evie Prete Season 1 Episode 8

In this vulnerable life-update episode, Evie opens up about one of the most difficult decisions she’s ever made: ending her marriage. Through her story, she explores the deeper meaning of self-advocacy — not just at work, but in relationships, family dynamics, and personal identity.

Evie shares how choosing herself, even when it was painful, became the most profound act of self-love she’s ever practiced. She also reflects on healing generational narratives, navigating fear, receiving support, and holding boundaries in both professional and personal spaces.

This episode is for anyone experiencing transition, heartbreak, or the internal conflict of honoring your truth when others don’t understand it.
