Episode Description: In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into why life feels so hard sometimes—and why that isn’t a problem to fix. If you’ve been feeling stuck, discouraged, or like no matter how hard you try, nothing seems to be working, this conversation is for you. I’ll be sharing personal stories—including a time when my own body forced me to stop—and stories from my clients that show how life’s toughest moments are often the greatest invitations for growth. Together, we’ll explore how life’s challenges reveal the gap between where we are and who we’re becoming, and why embracing that gap is key to transformation. You’ll walk away with practical tools to stay connected to your future self, even when life feels overwhelming. And I’ll leave you with a gentle challenge to reframe the hard moments in your life as opportunities to grow into the person you’re meant to be.
