What happens when the life you planned falls apart… and the life you’re meant for starts asking you to be honest?
In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Gustavo Handam—movement coach, wellness leader, and the newest member of the Create Your Fate Retreats team—for a conversation about resilience, self-trust, and what it looks like to keep choosing yourself when the path keeps shifting.
Gustavo shares his journey from moving to the U.S. from Venezuela in 2017, to navigating rejection and rebuilding his life from scratch, to betting on himself in a new country with a new career. We talk about the “hurricanes” we all face—external chaos and internal self-doubt—and how he learned to stay grounded in the center of it.
This is a real, heartfelt conversation about starting over, rewriting beliefs, and stepping into authenticity—especially when it costs you comfort.
