Ever felt like you were finally making progress, only to be hit with something that felt like a setback? Whether you're moving through divorce, a career shift, or stepping into a new phase of identity, remember: a perceived setback doesn’t mean  growth hasn’t happened. It’s just part of the process.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why transitions often feel messy and non-linear—and why that’s normal
  • How spring snow is the perfect metaphor for personal growth during uncertain times
  • Ways to reframe discomfort as a sign of progress, not regression
  • Real-life examples of transitions like divorce, career changes, and empty nesting
  • How to honor your growth even when things feel hard
"The snow doesn’t mean that the growth of the daffodils hasn’t happened. Spring is still on its way."

Challenge for the Week
Reflect on your current season of life. Where have you seen growth—even if things still feel uncertain? Take a moment to honor how far you’ve come. And if someone in your life is going through a similar transition, reach out and share your journey. Connection creates strength.
