From Grief to Power: How Self-Love Helped Chanoa Inez Reclaim Her Life

From Grief to Power: How Self-Love Helped Chanoa Inez Reclaim Her Life

On Her New Lens, host Dr. Tricia Rose Stone interviews author and traveler Chanoa Inez about losing her 41-year-old boyfriend, Boro, who died unexpectedly in his sleep from a clot the morning after what she called the most perfect day of her life in Montenegro. Chanoa describes the shock, choosing to stay in Europe for Orthodox grieving traditions, and years of unprocessed grief that coincided with chronic health issues, food sensitivities, and tendonitis. Through modalities including yoga, retreats, EFT tapping, and especially Dr. Joe Dispenza meditations and a 2023 Denver retreat, she recognized long-standing victim mindset patterns, low self-love reflected in toxic relationships, and how “shoulds” and martyrdom kept her stuck. She shares tips such as recognizing exhausting situations, advocating for one’s inner child, and reframing self-love as refusing to give away power.

One Pearl at a Time: How Daily Habits Create a Beautiful Life

In episode eight of Her New Lens: Empowered Vision, Tricia Stone explains that vision and self-image don’t sustain themselves without a consistent daily practice to counter the ego’s loud narrative, sharing a recent moment in which a small disappointment triggered an old story about being behind. Using ideas from James Clear’s Atomic Habits—especially that “every action is a vote for the person you want to become,” plus habit stacking and the two-minute rule—she outlines three simple touchpoints to keep vision alive: morning visualization, a small creative art practice (plus taking an inspiring photo during the day), and printing images to add to a collage/vision board or digital board. She emphasizes scheduling these practices in Google Calendar for accountability and closes by recapping the season’s earlier episodes and inviting listeners to design three touchpoints, stack them onto existing habits, and add them to the calendar. 00:00 Season Recap Setup 00:28 Why Vision Slips 01:00 Ego Story Spiral 02:48 Atomic Habits Framework 05:31 Three Daily Touchpoints 06:00 Morning Visualization 06:48 Creative Art And Photos 08:35 Vision Board Collage 11:34 Habit Stacking Two Minutes 12:32 Calendar Accountability 16:34 Your Weekly Challenge 18:03 Season Wrap And Goodbye

Stop Waiting for Clarity — Move Anyway

Stop Waiting and Move Anyway: From Measurement to Possibility In episode eight of the Empowered Vision season, host Tricia Rose Stone confesses she began Her New Lens with no audio experience, audience, or plan, and nearly listened to an inner voice urging her to wait until she was ready. Drawing on Rosamund and Benjamin Zander’s The Art of Possibility and Ben Zander’s nursing-home story, she argues that clarity and frameworks often appear only after taking action. She contrasts the “world of measurement” (comparison, scarcity, fear, and waiting for proof) with the “universe of possibility” (openness, contribution, and willingness). Tricia shares personal examples—starting the podcast, envisioning a relationship after an eight-month dating pause, and building a Boston practice—showing how committing to a vision and moving step by step creates momentum and invites outcomes that couldn’t be measured in advance. 00:00 Confession And Vision 02:08 Book That Shifts Thinking 02:52 Nursing Home Lesson 04:21 Invented Limitations 06:01 Move Before Clarity 08:01 Two Worlds Explained 09:41 Rock Bottom To Vision 12:49 Be A Contribution 14:12 You Are The Board 16:41 Frameworks Through Movement 17:35 Personal Proof And Practice 19:28 Final Call To Move

The Relationship You Desire Begins as a Vision

Build the Vision for Love: Naming the Old Pattern and Creating a New Felt Sense In episode six of the Empowered Vision season of Her New Lens, Tricia Rose Stone shares how she once feared love after repeated dysfunctional relationships that left her feeling unvalued, and how a rock-bottom relationship forced her to confront the “vision” of love she had unconsciously been recreating. She explains that relationship lenses are inherited from early family dynamics and cultural narratives, shaping a self-image that repeats patterns like abandonment, drama, or unworthiness. Tricia describes her own childhood imprint with an alcoholic, unavailable father, and a later emotional breakdown that led her to stop dating and focus on healing, nervous system awareness, and deliberate creation. She outlines building a new relationship vision from the inside out—prioritizing desired feelings like safety, security, and being valued—using journaling, reminders, gratitude, creative visioning, and identity work, then letting go with trust; eight months later, she met her husband, whom she has been with for nine years. 00:00 Fear of Love 01:53 Inherited Relationship Lenses 04:26 Patterns and Self Image 06:54 My Father and Abandonment 08:27 Name the Old Vision 09:38 Rock Bottom Clarity 11:45 My Rock Bottom Story 17:09 Building a New Vision 22:23 Daily Practices to Align 26:40 Letting Go and Trust 28:48 Weekly Takeaways and Close

The Moment You Can No Longer Abandon Yourself

This episode of Her New Lens focuses on “empowered vision,” defined as seeing truthfully when old identities no longer fit, and features guest Kim Korven, who shares her recent decision to end her second marriage after 15 years due to boundarylessness and feeling like her husband’s emotional support person. Kim describes recognizing patterns rooted in childhood programming around earning love, choosing to end relationships without making the other person the enemy, and recalling earlier reinventions, including peacefully divorcing her first husband, raising children, and returning to law school with unexpected support and scholarships after “jumping off the cliff” in faith. She discusses how tension in a home harms kids, practices that build self-love (breathwork, Miracle Morning SAVERS, and alphabet-based gratitude), and her work helping families navigate divorce peacefully and strategically with resources like journal prompts, scripts, and educational modules. 00:00 Empowered Vision Intro 01:29 Meet Kim Korven 02:28 Choosing Yourself Again 04:07 Peaceful Divorce Mindset 06:27 Law School Leap of Faith 09:25 Reframing and Being Caught 11:47 Seeing Your Growth Clearly 14:14 The Guitar Boundary Wakeup 18:40 Ending Without Making Enemies 19:44 April Fourth Reveal 20:01 Trusting The Leap 20:53 Proof From Past 23:06 Morning Practices 26:27 Alphabet Gratitude 28:33 Advice For Mothers 34:13 Courage To Stay Or Go 35:42 Helping Families Divorce 38:38 New Lens Closing
