Welcome back to The Joy Ride Podcast! This is my final episode of 2025 and it’s an honest one.
In this episode, I reflect on a year that looked nothing like I initially thought it would. This year really took me by surprise! I share what had to be deconstructed after making the decision to move out of Austin, how I slowly reclaimed my life force energy and what it required to be radically honest with myself, my family and my friends about where I truly was - emotionally, financially, spiritually, all the ways.
We talk about the temptation to skip steps, the humility of working with an uncomfortable season instead of fighting it and what it meant to make North Carolina work for me instead of seeing it as something to escape. I open up about the grief, the clarity, the fear, the anxiety and the unexpected blessings this year has brought me. I also explore what it actually means to "clear space" and why a longer season can feel like you're moving backwards in life, but in actuality, everything is working in your favor behind the scenes.
If you’re in a season where nothing is taking shape yet, where you're doing so much self reflection work that only you can see, you feel like you're so close yet still so far behind, but you know something is aligning for you, this episode is for you. Sometimes the quiet years where we let ourselves quietly realign are the ones that change everything moving forward.
I love you and am so proud of you!
xo, Rebekah Joy
