Happy 4th of July!
This episode is a tender return after a long pause—one shaped by unexpected stillness, a cross-country PCS move, and the quiet work of beginning again. Inspired by my own transition from California to Kansas, this story holds space for anyone navigating the sacred in-between.
Whether you're a military spouse folding dreams into boxes, a mom carrying too much with too little rest, or someone sitting in silence after a season of survival—this episode is for you.
We explore the emotional weight of starting over, the invisible labor of caregiving during transition, and the reminder that even in rest, we are still becoming.
Plus, listen for the original episode song, “Hallway Light”—a lofi meditation on resilience, stillness, and the quiet courage of starting over.
If you’ve ever felt like pausing meant falling behind, this is your gentle permission to breathe.
You're not lost. You're in the heartbeat between chapters. And you're not alone.
