Ep. 45 When the World is On Fire, What Now?
In this first episode of 2025, I reflect on what it means to navigate life when it feels like everything is burning down around you. Inspired by the fires in Los Angeles, I talk about the bigger themes of loss, grief, and how we can reclaim our power in the face of life's hardest moments. This episode is about finding your way forward when everything feels uncertain. It’s about learning to let go, honoring what you’re bringing with you from your last chapter and stepping into new beginnings. It’s an episode for you whether you’re not sure which way is up or down, ready to jump into what’s next or feeling the weight of the world.
Episode Highlights:
Shifting from “Why me?” to “What now?” helps reclaim your power and move through grief with purpose.
Embracing the energy of slowing down allows space for reflection and intentional new beginnings in a year of endings.
Asking yourself what you are meant to learn in what you are experiencing is an advanced self-reflection process.
Quotables:
[00:08:12]
"I've been watching all these images from the LA fires and I've been in deep reflection about that. To lose all your belongings. How do you rebuild? How do you grieve? What is that process? How do you find hope?"
[00:14:27]
"This idea of what now is about taking your power back. It's about giving yourself space to grieve and cry it out when things have happened in your life that you have no control over. It's about remembering that tomorrow is not yet created, and it doesn't serve us to write a story before it's been written."
[00:15:12]
"What now is about finding glimmers of gratitude in your life, even in the hardest moments as a grounding, as a recentering, as an honoring that in this moment."
