What happens when the life you imagined falls apart? When the timeline you worked so hard to follow unravels—through betrayal, divorce, loss, or just life being life?

In this episode, I’m getting real about what it feels like to grieve the life you thought you’d have, and how to start living the one you’re in. I’ll share stories from my own healing journey, including how a game of M.A.S.H. shaped my childhood dreams and how a bush full of vibrant flowers in the Arizona desert brought me back to life when I was ready to give up.

We’ll talk about:

• Why timelines and life scripts can keep you stuck in shame

• The grief of “almost”—and why it hurts so much

• How comparison steals your agency

• What to do when it feels like you’ve been left behind

• Tiny ways to find joy, possibility, and purpose—right here, right now

• How to hold onto the dream without clinging to the plan

If you're navigating life after betrayal or divorce and wondering if it's too late, if you're too far behind, or if you’ll ever feel inspired again—this episode is for you.

Because even when life doesn’t go as planned… it’s not over. You still get to choose what happens next.
