In this mid-season update, I share what’s been unfolding behind the scenes as I’ve stepped into creating the second half of the season.

Releasing the first five episodes after holding them for so long has felt incredibly freeing, and your messages, reviews, and reflections have meant so much. At the same time, real life has been very present, and I’ve been reminded of how important it is to honor my process, my capacity, and my pace.

I'll touch on:

Reflection Questions

Sometimes the next step in rebuilding isn’t forward, it’s toward the person beside you.

In this episode, I share a deeply personal story about my marriage: what happened when I chose to bring tipa, the wisdom of small steps, into one of the most important relationships of my life.

What unfolded reminded me that reconnection isn’t a destination, it’s a practice. One that asks us to keep showing up, one micro-moment at a time.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

✨ How small, imperfect moments began to rebuild connection in my marriage 

✨ The quiet power I discovered to shift the energy in our relationship 

✨ The ways love lives in the micro-moments, not the milestones 

✨ How facing what’s true—about ourselves and each other—opens the door to new possibilities

Even if you’re not married, this episode is about something universal: the small steps we can take to reclaim what we most long to experience in any relationship in our lives.

A few months after leaving my job, I begin to sense that the next chapter won’t start with a plan—it will start with me.

As the pace around me slows, I realize how much I’ve been moving on autopilot—disconnected from my own voice and needs.

This episode marks the moment I begin to rebuild from the inside out: learning to listen, to trust, and to make space for the wisdom within.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

✨ How slowing down helped me hear my own voice again.

✨ What I discovered in that quiet moment of clarity and calm.

✨ The small, steady tipas (steps) that helped me quiet the noise and start to rebuild trust in myself.

✨ Why this reconnection became the foundation for everything that followed.

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t knowing what needs to change—it’s moving through the resistance to actually do it.

Eight months after my “Not My Dream” moment, I was still stuck in the grind—burned out, afraid, and tangled in resistance.

This episode is the turning point between awareness and action—my honest story of overcoming massive resistance, reclaiming my power, and taking that terrifying, yet liberating, next step toward a life that feels more like my own.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

✨ Why resistance to change can feel so massive—and why it makes so much sense.

✨ How curiosity, compassion, and community can help loosen its grip.

✨ What it took for me to feel safe enough to take my next step.

✨ The powerful reframe that moved me from fear to freedom.

What happens when the life you’ve worked so hard to build no longer feels like yours?

In this second episode, I share my “Not My Dream” moment—a quiet metaphorical earthquake that shook the foundation of my life.

After years of striving, achieving, and doing everything “right,” I found myself depleted, disconnected, and realizing that the version of success I was living wasn’t truly mine.

That realization marked a moment of awakening that would spark my inner revolution—a shift from living by expectation to living by intention, one conscious step at a time.

In this episode, we'll explore:
✨ The moment I realized this is not my dream—and why that awareness matters.
✨ How doing everything “right” can still feel wrong—and what that reveals about alignment.
✨ What Alice Walker’s wisdom on power teaches us about reclaiming choice.
✨ The Change Formula—how discomfort, vision, and one small step can overcome resistance and spark transformation.
✨ Why naming “Not My Dream” can become the first powerful Tipa—an act of awakening and new possibility.

What if the wisdom you need to move through life’s hardest moments has been within reach all along? 

In this opening episode, I take you back to the day that changed everything—the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Amid the devastation, I witnessed an act of courage that planted the seed for what would become the Tipa Revolution. Through my colleague Paul’s simple, steady steps, I began to understand the power of tipa tipa—step by step—a wisdom that would later carry me through the most profound revolution of my life. This is where it all began: with the truth that step by step isn't just a way through life's hardest moments—it's the only way.

 We'll explore:
✨The event that gave rise to the Tipa Revolution and how Paul’s story first brought its wisdom to life.
✨The universal nature of tipa tipa and what it teaches us about moving through uncertainty and overwhelm.
✨How our darkest and hardest experiences often carry the wisdom that strengthens and transforms us.
✨How this wisdom became the foundation for my own small-step revolution—and could be the spark for yours.
