The Transformational Journey: From Cocoon to Soar

The Transformational Journey: From Cocoon to Soar

What if this season, instead of moving from moment to moment on autopilot, we slowed down enough to notice the quiet transformation happening within us? The kind that invites us to breathe, reflect, and rise a little higher than before.

In this special episode, Rebecca Hall Gruyter sits down with Dr. Sharon Arrindell, Inspirational Speaker, Pastor, Counselor/Coach, Maxwell Leadership Certified Trainer, and bestselling author, for an uplifting conversation about growth, healing, and the journeys that shape us.

Dr. Sharon, visionary and lead author of the bestselling anthology From Cocoon to Soar, shares what inspired her to bring together 17 powerful women and why their stories needed to be heard now. She offers insight into the cocoon-to-soar journey, what it looks like in real life, how it feels from the inside, and why transformation often begins long before we notice our own wings forming.

Together, Rebecca and Dr. Sharon explore how presence helps us rise, how storytelling creates community, and how we can reconnect with what’s true and life-giving in a season that often pulls us away from ourselves.
