S2 Ep 1 | What Does It Mean to Trust the Timing of Your Life?
As the seasons shift, I’ve been thinking a lot about time -- not just the kind that lives on a clock, but the kind that moves through the body, the heart, the soul. This past year has been one of deep undoing and even deeper remembering. In this first episode of season two, I’m sharing some honest reflections on what it’s looked like to live inside grief and transformation, to walk the lonely road of coming back to myself, and to honor the milestones no one else can see. If you’ve ever found yourself in a season where everything looked still on the outside but everything was changing inside, this one is for you.
