So many women secretly carry the fear that they’ve missed their chance. That they’re too old, too far down one path, or too stuck in what they’ve built to start over.
But the truth? It’s never too late to rise again.
In this conversation from the Wildly Awakened Woman Series, Alvina shares her journey of rebirth after decades in corporate life, profound personal loss, and the ache for something more. Her story proves that renewal is always possible — and that answering the call of your own Renaissance can transform everything.
For 24 years, Alvina thrived in the corporate world of compliance, operations, and risk management. Outwardly, she had it all: career progression, financial stability, the family and the home.
But inside? She was burnt out, disconnected, and carrying the weight of who she thought she “should” be.
Like so many women, she played the role of the good girl — excelling, performing, and over-delivering. Until the “record scratch moment” arrived: her husband’s sudden stage four cancer diagnosis.
In an instant, life was turned upside down. And Alvina was faced with the painful but powerful truth: life is too short to live out of alignment.
Grief became Alvina’s teacher.
Between her husband’s illness, his passing, and the loss of her father, she was cracked open in ways she couldn’t have imagined.
“I had to learn to give myself what I needed. That’s how I found my strength.” – Alvina
Through slowing down, questioning old cycles, and allowing herself to feel deeply, she discovered a new path — one rooted not in performance or perfection, but in authenticity and soul-led purpose.
Alvina’s story is not about one dramatic epiphany. It’s about the cycles of awakening that unfolded over time — moments of breaking, shedding, and reclaiming.
Through curiosity, journaling, energy work, and courageous self-trust, she began to:
Break free from generational and societal conditioning.
Reclaim her worth, her voice, and her power.
Anchor into joy, community, and alignment.
Step into her own definition of success.
This is the essence of the Wildly Awakened Woman: a leader who rises again and again, no matter her age or stage, embodying courage, truth, and bone-deep authenticity.
Alvina reminds us that every ending is also a beginning.
“The practical step? Take a chance on yourself. Say yes — before your doubt talks you out of it.” – Alvina
