This week on Inspired by Design, I’m pulling back the curtain on a deeply emotional season — one filled with reflection, unexpected waves, and the kind of inner questioning that can make you wonder if something’s “wrong.” Spoiler: nothing’s wrong. You’re simply human. And you’re not alone.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why so many people feel “off” during emotionally charged seasons — and why reflection is not failure
• The surprising truth about choosing yourself without abandoning others
• How self-care becomes service (especially for manifesting generators and helpers)
• The two song lyrics from Andrew’s new track that hit straight to the soul
• The difference between “is something wrong?” and “something is happening — and I’m still me”
• My favorite grounding tools: music, journaling, meditation, prayer, nervous system breaks
• How intention-setting objects or jewelry can anchor you back to who you are
• A beginner-friendly introduction to the 8 Limbs of Yoga and how they offer stability in messy seasons
• A reminder that you cannot do this wrong — showing up IS the practice
• An invitation to remember who you are underneath everything you’ve layered on
