From Daughter to Matriarch: Navigating Mother Loss & Finding Your Path with Jenn Loyd

Join your host Neelia on "Transforming and Thriving" for a powerful and deeply moving conversation with Jenn Loyd, a personal stylist and founder of Accessory To Love. Jenn, who empowers women to feel like the main character through curated style and bold accessories, gets incredibly personal as she shares her journey through profound grief and transformation.

In this episode, Jenn opens up about a major “before and after” moment in her life: losing her mom and mother-in-law within three months, which suddenly made her the matriarch of her family at just 36 years old. She shares how she navigated this immense double loss while raising three young daughters and how this experience, particularly during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, forced her to adapt and grow in unimaginable ways.

Listeners will gain invaluable insights into Jenn’s journey of processing grief, from feeling numb in the first year to embracing her emotions in the second. She shares the tools that helped her find her path, including journaling, prioritizing time for herself, and the importance of asking for and accepting help. This episode is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and how we can transform personal pain into a passion for empowering others.
