Episode #543: Finding Meaning After Change and Loss with Sandra Beck: Rebuilding Purpose When Life Breaks Open

Change and loss have a way of stripping life down to the essentials. What once mattered may suddenly feel irrelevant. What once motivated you may no longer move you at all. And in the quiet aftermath, a hard question often lingers: What gives life meaning now? On this episode of Powered Up Talk Radio, host Sandra Beck explores how meaning is rebuilt—not discovered—after loss and major life change. This conversation looks at why old sources of purpose may fall away, how grief reshapes identity, and why rushing to “move on” often delays real healing. This episode isn’t about finding silver linings or reframing pain into something inspirational. It’s about learning to live honestly in the aftermath, allowing meaning to emerge through integration, choice, and values rather than force. Because meaning after loss doesn’t come from replacing what was lost. It comes from deciding how you will live with what remains—and who you choose to become next.
