018 RV Life, Illness, and Getting Rid of the Crap That Weighs You Down

5 minutes

This episode dives into the hidden emotional weight of starting over with chronic illness. What happens when you’ve finally made the leap—downsizing your home, embracing a new lifestyle—only to find that your body and heart haven’t caught up? I’m opening up about the day I broke down in our RV, what no one saw beneath the surface, and how guilt and grief can sneak into even the most “exciting” seasons. Whether you’re in a season of transition, feeling stuck between who you were and who you’re becoming, or simply tired of pushing through—it’s okay to not have it all figured out. Let this episode remind you: you’re allowed to release what no longer fits. And you don’t have to do it alone.
