Becoming the Lighthouse: Healing After Loss, Finding Your Light, and Choosing Yourself with Laylani Colibri Jack
In this deeply heartfelt episode of Hold My Purse, Rho sits down with author, coach, and “lighthouse creator” Laylani Colibrí Jack to talk about healing, purpose, and how loss can become the light that leads you home to yourself.
Leilani opens up about the sudden passing of her mother and how that tragedy became the beginning of her own hero’s journey — a journey that inspired her to help others love life after loss. Together, Rho and Leilani unpack what it means to do the inner work, lead with compassion, and shine without apology.
They also explore her powerful Lighthouse Method — a framework that teaches you to clean your own windows before you try to guide anyone else. The conversation moves from personal healing to emotional intelligence, grief, and leadership — reminding us that we can hold our pain and our power at the same time.
And just when you think it couldn’t get any more real, Aria pops in with her Gen Alpha wisdom to talk about confidence, intuition, and why her generation refuses to carry emotional baggage that isn’t theirs.
This episode is a full-circle moment — soulful, healing, and packed with light.
Key Takeaways
✨ Healing is a journey, not a destination. You don’t have to be “healed” — you just have to keep healing.
✨ Grief is another form of growth. It’s what happens when your soul outgrows an old chapter.
✨ Be the lighthouse. Your job isn’t to chase or fix — it’s to stand tall, shine bright, and trust your light.
✨ Inner work changes everything. When you shift, the energy around you shifts too.
✨ Self-care is sacred. Small, intentional moments are the foundation of real healing.
