Episode 26 · July 21, 2026 · 52 min

For Swedish expat Elin Molander, one of those pillars was her mom. Growing up as an only child with a single parent, she shared an incredibly close bond with her, the person she loved most in the world. Then, in 2024, Elin's mom passed away.

With the loss of that pillar, the other one came crashing down too. At just 21 years old, her entire world fell apart.

What followed marked the beginning of a new chapter. One defined by a profound question: Who am I?

In this episode, now 23, Elin shares how losing her mom transformed the way she defines a successful life and what enabled her to rebuild her world from the ground up, discovering a new sense of identity.

If you've experienced the loss of a parent, grief, or a season of questioning who you are, this episode is an honest conversation about healing, resilience, identity, and finding hope after loss.
