In this quietly powerful episode, Mae shares a raw, present-moment realization: that surrender isn’t one grand moment, but a hundred tiny ones. She speaks tenderly about what it means to soften, to be shaped, and to keep walking—through storm, grace, and even breaking apart. A deep, human reminder that we’re never alone in the unraveling.
