What if life is trying to offer you a shortcut—but you’re too busy pushing to see it? In this episode of Catching Sunshine, we’re challenging the old belief that “there are no shortcuts in life” and exploring the idea that often, when you’re aligned and paying attention, life will gently show you a better way.

Some paths do require the long, winding climb. But not all of them. Shortcuts can be beautiful things—if they’re aligned.

You’ll learn how to spot one, how to trust it, and how to finally stop mistaking ease for weakness.

If you've been stuck in a cycle of struggle, this episode is here to remind you to stop striving and start listening. Because sometimes, the better path is already there… it’s just waiting for you to look up and notice it.
