In this episode, I’m sharing the mindset shifts I return to when I feel lost, tired, or just trying to ground myself in something deeper than a to-do list.

We’ll talk about:

  • The underrated art of trusting detours (and the psychology of hedonic adaptation)
  • What discomfort actually means, and why it’s a good sign
  • How to stop squeezing every moment for meaning
  • Why empathy might actually be selfish and what that means for real connection (according to philosopher Edith Stein)

These are the beliefs that have held me through heartbreak, solo travel, reinvention, and becoming someone new, again and again.

If you’re somewhere between the breakdown and the breakthrough, between who you were and who you’re becoming, then this one’s for you.

Come sit with me for a while...
