In this personal and reflective birthday episode, I’m sharing what this past year has truly been for me — the hard, the awesome, and everything in between.
This year stretched me to my edges. I found myself in deep suffering, overwhelmed, overstimulated, and at times disconnected from my joy. It was a season of endings, uncertainty, and profound inner change — what I now recognize as a dark night of the soul. And yet, within all of that, something beautiful happened.
I realized that if I’m going to choose to be here anyway — I have to live while I’m alive. I have to lighten up, focus on the light, and allow joy to return to the center. This episode is about that awakening. About remembering that the point isn’t to fix or perfect ourselves — it’s to live. To love ourselves through the growth. To see how far we’ve actually come.
You’ll hear about how this past year has been a full death-and-rebirth cycle for me — closing On The Path, preparing for my book, hosting retreats, taking on more one-on-one clients, and stepping even more deeply into my calling. It’s the end of one chapter and the beginning of something new — a reminder that every ending holds the seed of what’s next.
✨ Reflection Questions:- What have I walked through this past year that has made me stronger, softer, or wiser?
- What am I ready to release, forgive, or finally put down as I move into this next chapter?
- What do I want to turn up in my life — joy, creativity, confidence, self-trust, presence?
- How can I live while I’m alive, right here, right now — not waiting for the next milestone?
- What light am I ready to share more boldly with the world?
