The Loretta Brown Show - 10-01-26 - The Art of Living Beautifully

Today, Loretta welcomes Vickie Menendez who is a transformational coach, inspirational speaker and author whose work explores grief, healing, self-care and the art of learning to live beautifully after profound change. Her own life has taken her through extraordinary loss, including the deaths of four of her five children, two of them only twelve days apart in 2023. Rather than allowing grief to become the final chapter of her story, Vickie transformed her experience into a mission of supporting others navigating loss, disconnection and life-altering transitions. With more than 35 years of experience in self-care and wellness, she brings together spiritual practice, energy work, breathwork, gratitude, intentional living, nervous-system awareness and sacred space to help people reconnect with themselves and rediscover strength, joy and purpose. Her evolving work includes The Art of Living Beautifully, The Art of Noticing, a 28-day gratitude journey, the Holistic Life Review, private and group retreats, and her Mind, Body, Soul and Sacred Spaces approach. Her philosophy invites us to honor the past without continuing to live there, embrace the life that exists now, and consciously participate in creating what comes next. Vickie is the author of Crystal’s Butterfly Effect: A Mother’s Journey from Loss to Transformation and Compass to the Soul: Your Healing Companion. Her message is perhaps best expressed in three simple words that have become central to her work: Pause. Breathe. Begin Again. For more information: https://vickiemenendez.com/
