Welcome to Episode 2 of Act Accordingly—where I overthink everything so you don’t have to.

This week: we’re sitting in the swirl. No solving, just seeing. Awareness is its own kind of medicine.

I spiral lovingly through some big questions: Who am I? What do I want? Why is being present so hard? And what if I’m doing it all wrong but also maybe exactly right?

If you’ve ever felt like the self-help world made you feel worse instead of better, this one’s for you.

Topics:

• The myth of “finding your purpose”

• Why anxiety might be trying to help

• What aliveness actually feels like

• When kids and birds become your gurus

• Letting things be…even when it sucks

In the very first episode of Act Accordingly, host Maggie Ward pulls back the curtain on where she’s at—mentally, spiritually, and literally.

This short solo episode sets the tone for what’s to come: honest reflections, imperfect growth, and the ongoing journey of figuring out what it actually means to live a life that feels like yours.

Expect musings on:

• Life after leaving corporate (or getting fired, tbh)

• The weird and winding path of purpose

• Creating from the in-between

• And trusting your way through the fog

For anyone who’s ever felt like they’re in the middle of the mess but still trying to show up—this one’s for you.

Intro credit to my friend LL—grateful for her insight and for the phrase “inconvenient truths,” which she shared in conversation and it stuck with me.
