Ever tell yourself that life will finally settle down after this next hurdle? For a brief moment, it seems to—and then life smacks you with the unexpected. Job loss, a new love, divorce papers, your teenager's puberty, a health scare, a new life. Good or bad, it's always change. We crave the constant, but the only thing constant is change.

In this introductory episode of ATYPICAL Podcast with Amie Archibald-Varley, Amie and her guest dismantle the pervasive myth of linear progression of life and offer a liberating alternative. What if we just embrace the unexpected? How can we do it? Life being "straight, narrow and pristine" is the biggest illusion of them all. Join us as we explore the messy, beautiful, and often chaotic reality of a nonlinear life.

Drawing on insights from psychology, philosophy, and the raw, honest stories of those who have dared to deviate, this episode will help you:

• Recognize the "linearity lie" and its impact on your mental and emotional well-being.

• Embrace the power of pivots, detours, and "failures" as essential parts of your unique journey.

• Redefining Success and Navigating Uncertainty 

• Learn to navigate the uncertainties of life with evidence-based strategies---not more catch phrases! 

Whether you're feeling stuck in a rut, questioning your path, or simply seeking a more authentic way to live, this conversation will provide you with the validation and tools to trade the illusion of control for the reality of a life fully lived. It's time to embrace the scenic route!
