On this episode of Wandering the Wild Mess, I’m reflecting on how setting boundaries—especially when it felt uncomfortable but helped me rediscover my direction. I’ll share what I’ve learned about navigating the guilt of choosing my own path when others wanted me to follow theirs, and why letting someone go their own way is okay if it no longer aligns with yours.

Join me as we dive into the power of trusting the detours, embracing the wild mess of figuring out where you’re meant to go, and choosing yourself—even when it’s the hardest thing to do.

In this episode of Wandering the Wild Mess, I’m diving into how we all have those moments when a song instantly takes us back in time—those frozen moments where the music tells the story of where we’ve been, what we’ve felt, and where we’re going. I share personal stories of how certain songs became the soundtrack to my own journey, and how the music we choose often reflects the story we want to hear. Music has a magical way of triggering us to listen to the emotions we need to hear at just the right time. Sometimes, songs come into our lives when we need them most, offering truths in the lyrics that resonate with our current journey. Join me as we explore how music connects us to the chapters of our lives and shapes the path forward.

In this episode of Wandering the Wild Mess, I revisit the heart of this podcast—letting go of what you thought life should look like and embracing the wild mess of it all. It’s a reminder that even when things don’t go as planned, they can still work out—just in a different, sometimes unexpected way. And that’s okay!

This episode is for anyone who’s felt pressured by expectations or struggled with the “shoulds” of life. I talk about finding peace in the mess, trusting that life always works out even when we can’t see how. I share how I’ve come to terms with my relationships with my mom and sister, realizing they may not be what I envisioned, but they’re still meaningful.

This episode is here to remind you embrace the delusion and remember that you are enough just as you are, and your life is your own. "Can't get over it, can't go around it... Guess I'm going through it."
