What 26 people from around the world are struggling with right now (audience callers)

Life is full of highs and lows, and in this episode, we’re diving into *the real stuff*—the storms that people are weathering right now. I asked my audience to leave voicemails sharing what they’re struggling with, and today, we’re hearing from 26 people from all over the world. From infertility to grief, career struggles to anxiety, these stories remind us that we’re never as alone as we might feel.

This episode isn’t about comparing struggles—it’s about connection. It’s about listening with an open heart, recognizing that hardship looks different for everyone, and finding solace in shared experiences. I hope you walk away from this conversation with a deeper sense of empathy and maybe even a little more peace in knowing that we’re all navigating life’s ups and downs together.
