In this heartfelt episode of Preparing for Purpose, I open up about the challenges of navigating hard times when life feels overwhelming. As someone often seen as strong and put-together, admitting that I’m not okay wasn’t easy. But through vulnerability, I found healing. I share how taking small steps, accepting support, and allowing myself to feel helped me reclaim my sense of self. If you’re struggling to stay afloat, this episode is a reminder that it’s okay not to be okay — and you don’t have to go through it alone. Let’s talk about how we can find our way back to joy, one step at a time.
