Have you ever given up on a dream — grieved it so long it felt gone for good?

In this episode of This Unfolding Life, I share the surprising moment, halfway around the world in Malaysia, that planted the seed for my song New Tree Growin’ from the Old, Dead Root. It’s a story about new beginnings, honoring what’s been lost, and trusting that new life can grow in unexpected places.

You’ll hear the song’s backstory, early voice memos, and a reflection practice to help you notice new possibilities in your own life.

Let’s keep watching for the new trees growing from our old, dead roots.
