What happens when life forces you to slow down — and everything you thought made you “strong” no longer works?
In this deeply personal solo episode, I’m sharing the story of a major injury that changed me in ways I never expected. After recently rediscovering a note I wrote to myself early in recovery, I realized how little I understood about what was actually ahead — and how much resistance added to my suffering.
Inspired by the phrase “no mud, no lotus,” this episode explores how life’s hardest seasons can quietly shape us, soften us, and strengthen us — if we let them. We talk about mindfulness in real life (not theory), why accepting help was one of the most uncomfortable and transformative lessons I learned, and how reframing strength changed everything.
This episode is an invitation to slow down, connect more deeply with yourself, and remember that you don’t have to navigate hard seasons alone.
🎧 Tune in to discover how connection, presence, and self-compassion can transform adversity into meaningful growth.
