In this episode of "Soul Searching in Circles," I share how it feels to be stuck in old patterns. I talk about the struggle to move on and the weight of past emotions. Each step matters, even when it feels like I'm going in circles. Join me as I remind us that we’re not alone in this

Welcome to "This Moment." I started this podcast to talk and share my real thoughts. Lately, I’ve been feeling tired and a bit lost, and I forgot why I began. It’s okay to feel this way sometimes. I’m here to remind myself and you that it’s okay to take a break and just be ourselves.

In this episode, I dive deep into my personal journey of rising above overwhelm and navigating the complexities of life after school. I share candid reflections on the feelings of sadness and challenges that weighed me down and how I made the conscious choice to stop complaining and take proactive steps toward change.

Despite my efforts, I often felt like I wasn't doing enough or that I was falling short. It was during this struggle that I discovered the power of connecting with my spiritual side. By grounding myself in faith and gaining confidence through God's word, I learned to let go of comparisons and embrace my unique path.

Join me as I explore the transformative process of focusing on my passions and finding contentment in my journey. I’ll discuss practical tips for personal growth, self-compassion, and the importance of viewing life as a personal challenge—one defined by your own standards. Together, we’ll uncover how to shift your mindset and cultivate a fulfilling life where it's truly you vs. you.

*"Piecing Myself Together Again"* is a deeply personal reminder that even in the moments when I feel completely lost, heartbroken, or disconnected from who I am, there is always a way back. This episode is about the times when life feels overwhelming, when the version of myself that I once knew seems unrecognizable, and the future feels uncertain. It's during these moments that I remind myself of the strength I hold within—the strength to gather the broken pieces, to reclaim who I am, and to move forward with grace.

This is a journey of rediscovery, where I allow myself to feel the pain, but also trust in the process of healing. I’ll talk about the importance of patience with myself, about embracing the moments of confusion and vulnerability, and the power of self-compassion. It’s about knowing that no matter how far I feel from the person I used to be, I can always call myself back. There’s comfort in the fact that even in the darkest times, I can piece myself together, stronger and more grounded than before.

By the end of this episode, I hope to leave myself—and anyone listening—with the message that it’s okay to feel lost sometimes. The key is to trust that no matter what, everything will eventually fall into place, and everything will be fine. We are resilient, and every setback is just part of the beautiful process of becoming whole again.
