Things don’t always go as planned.

You’re excited, you’ve got everything lined up… and then life throws a thunderstorm your way. Literally.

In this episode, I’m sharing a story from my latest weekend at a festival — a weekend that didn’t exactly end the way we hoped. But instead of staying stuck in frustration, I took it as a reminder of something deeper: what if it was all happening for us, not to us?

We’re talking about:

🌩️ Radical acceptance in real life (not just as a buzzword)

🍞 What burnt toast has to do with staying calm

⏳ How small everyday moments shape how we handle the big ones

🌀 Why control isn’t always the goal — and what to focus on instead

So if you’ve ever had one of those “ugh, seriously?!” kind of moments (who hasn’t?), this one might bring a bit of peace and perspective to your day.
