In this episode Tam shares a deeply personal week of breakthroughs: confronting jealousy, using meditation to turn fear into genuine joy for a friend's success, and reconnecting through honest gratitude. She reflects on parenting, vulnerability, and the power of viewing setbacks as "progress steps" rather than mistakes.
Tam also talks about practical wins — finishing book chapters, booking pitch slots at a fiction festival, and brainstorming a live podcast event — while celebrating her wedding anniversary and small daily joys. The episode mixes candid storytelling with concrete takeaways about releasing resistance and leaning into emotional honesty.
