Daditude

In this episode, I was on my way to a six-mile run when I stopped at the store for water and saw something that instantly sparked a thought.

I noticed what looked like a child transfer between parents in a parking lot. I don’t know their situation, and I’m not trying to speak for them. But I do know the feeling that moment can carry.

Nobody wants to be in that position.

What stood out to me most is something I’ve noticed before: the parent dropping off often sits there a little longer before pulling away. I’ve been there. And when that moment happens, the feeling isn’t freedom.

It’s not, “Now I get to go do whatever I want.”

It’s, “What am I supposed to do now?”

People assume that when you’re alone and your child isn’t with you, it means you get a break. But the truth is, sometimes that time becomes the space where you’re forced to collect yourself, cope, and keep going until the next time you get to see them.

This one is short, raw, and a little circular. But honestly, that feeling is circular too.

For a long time, I believed I needed everything mapped out who I should be, what I should be doing, and where I should be by now.

Lately, I’ve loosened my grip on the plan.

In this episode, I reflect on the unexpected clarity that comes from lowering expectations and allowing life to unfold a little more naturally.

Just a real, unfiltered thought from the driver’s seat.

Comfort isn’t the enemy.

In fact, it’s necessary.

But there’s a quiet moment when comfort stops restoring us and starts protecting us from discomfort we’re not ready to face. When that happens, comfort doesn’t feel wrong — it feels familiar, reasonable, and easy to justify.

That’s when comfort becomes avoidance.

In this episode, I talk through:

• How avoidance often disguises itself as rest, planning, or “waiting for clarity”
• The two common responses to discomfort: freezing and overdrive
• A third option — slowing down with intention instead of rushing or retreating
• The question that helps bring awareness (and choice) back into the moment

This isn’t about pushing harder or eliminating comfort.

It’s about noticing when comfort is helping you recover — versus when it’s quietly keeping you stuck.

This is a raw, unedited spoken journal recorded on my first Monday working for myself.
It’s a reflection on transition, identity, grief, and the quiet clarity that comes when a door closes and another begins to open.
