When the Journey Doesn’t Look Like the Plan


Listen Later

n this episode, Carrie shares a real-life story from a long-awaited birthday trip and RRR retreat that nearly unraveled before it even began. Weather delays, missed connections, lost bags, and frayed nerves stacked up fast. It could have spiraled. Instead, the group chose calm, care, and humor—and discovered something surprising: when you stop fighting reality, time expands and connection deepens.

We unpack why our first instinct is to label delays as failure—and what shifts when you begin treating them as alignment. Carrie breaks down how presence can turn chaos into clarity, why tending to your nervous system is a real strategy for progress, and how wisdom and readiness often matter more than rigid timelines.

You’ll hear how split arrivals created unexpected gifts—early arrivals softened and bonded, late arrivals brought fresh energy—and why, even though a full day was “lost” on paper, nothing meaningful was missed in real life.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

  • Why delays feel personal—and how to stop internalizing them
  • How calm and kindness create momentum when plans fall apart
  • Simple ways to steady your body and mindset under stress
  • A powerful reframe for feeling behind, off track, or out of sync
  • Why different doesn’t mean wrong—and delayed doesn’t mean denied

Whether you’re building a business, navigating a move, growing a relationship, or manifesting a goal, this episode offers grounded mindset shifts to help you move through uncertainty with grace and aligned action.

If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who could use a dose of calm momentum, and leave a quick review to help more people find the podcast.

And then take a moment to reflect:
 What detour in your life is asking for your trust right now?
