What do you do when everything you built — suddenly disappears overnight?

That's the real conversation in Episode 6 of The Books That Shaped Me.

Melinda Quiroz spent 11 years building a massive insurance book of business. Then, on March 17th, 2026, that chapter ended — without warning, without a choice.

She calls it her "captive to called" season.

And what she says next stopped me in my tracks:

"I truly would have never seen what my true worth was... until I lost it all."

If you've ever poured your whole self into something — your job, your business, your title — and then had it taken away, this episode is for you.

We talk about:

  • Why your gaping hole might actually be cleared space
  • The "upper limit problem" from The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks
  • Ella Langley's Dandelion album and why Melinda says it was made for this season
  • What it means to rebuild — and why rebuilding is NOT failure
