Megan Sales believed love meant sacrificing herself. Building the perfect marriage, becoming a mother, and giving everything she had felt like the path to a meaningful life. But when motherhood and heartbreak unraveled the future she had imagined, she was forced to ask a different question: What if love was never supposed to cost me myself?
In this conversation, Megan reflects on becoming a single mother, rebuilding after betrayal and loss, learning to loosen her grip on the life she thought she needed, and discovering that choosing yourself isn't the opposite of love — it may be where love truly begins.
