EP 47: When Your Breaking Point Becomes Your Becoming with Yara de la Torre
What happens when the life you thought you were building changes in an instant? Today's conversation is especially full circle for me because I've known Yara de la Torre for close to a decade. We originally met during a completely different era of both of our lives, when Yara was one of my bridal hair education students and we even worked together one-on-one. Neither of us could have imagined that all these years later, we'd be sitting down together having this conversation. In 2019, Yara experienced a life-altering accident that left her paralyzed from the waist down and changed the trajectory of her life. But what followed wasn't simply a story of overcoming something hard. It became an unraveling, a remembering, and ultimately an entirely new chapter of who she was here to become. In this episode, we talk about identity, grief, surrender, astrology, trusting the unknown, finding meaning in the moments that break us open, and what it looks like to allow yourself to become someone you never could have predicted. We also explore the beautiful duality of being able to honor what you've lost without needing to make it “happen for a reason,” while still recognizing the woman you've become on the other side of it. Because sometimes the life you never planned for becomes the doorway into a version of yourself you never knew existed. This is an episode about what happens when the old identity no longer fits—and having the courage to follow what comes next.

And if you're in a season where you don't quite recognize the woman you used to be, but you can't fully see who you're becoming yet, keep going. You don't need the entire path. You just need the courage to follow what comes next. And as always, remember who the fuck you are, icon♡ We would love to hear what spoke to you...don't be shy, send us a DM at @xoreneemarie and @cosmosyara
