Join me today for an honest and vulnerable conversation about navigating the tough places in life where answers are unclear and the future feels uncertain.
Through the lens of my own experiences as a mom, especially during a challenging period when my younger son chose to take space from our relationship, I explore the art of "making peace with the unknown."
Together, we unpack what it takes to keep the faith, navigate heartbreak or dreams unfulfilled yet, and leave enough room for more to be revealed—no matter how long it takes.
I weave in personal stories, reflections on parenting young adults, and the timeless wisdom of the Zen parable “The Farmer’s Luck,” all with a dose of humor and realness.
Whether you’re facing family struggles, waiting on big news, or simply craving a reminder that life keeps unfolding (even through the messy parts!), this episode encourages you to stay open to possibility and hope.
Your 3 Main Takeaways:
- Hold Space for the Unknown: Sometimes the greatest growth and healing happen when you allow yourself (and others) the room to be in the in-between—without rushing to fix, label, or control the outcome.
- Maybe is a Powerful Place: Like the wise farmer in the story, learning to sit with “maybe” instead of rushing to judge things as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ helps you embrace the full, rich unfolding of life.
- Love Shows Up in the Liminal: Even when relationships (especially with those closest to us) get messy or disconnected, choosing to stay loving, present, and open allows for the potential of deep repair, new beginnings, and unexpected joy.
