I Choose Happy with Marilyn Getas Byrne
Episode 24 Description:
In this episode of I Choose Happy, Marilyn sits down with Jamie Estelle Roth, best-selling author of Should’ve Seen That Coming: Navigating the In-Between Moments of Acceptance, Surrender, & Resilience, to talk about what happens when life changes without warning - and how we learn to meet what comes next.
After suddenly losing her eyesight in 2021, Jamie was forced to slow down in ways she never had before. What began as fear and uncertainty became a journey into presence, healing, and a deeper way of seeing herself and the world around her.
With honesty, humor, and heart, Jamie shares how losing her sight led her to confront old patterns, release the need to stay busy and brave, and step into a new relationship with her body, her emotions, and most importantly, her spirit. From the quiet in-between moments to the power of surrender without despair, this conversation is a reminder that even when we lose something we thought defined us, so much meaning can still be found.
This is a story about resilience, clarity, and choosing to live fully... even when the path looks nothing like what we expected.
