What happens when you fall off the conventional path?

There's a ceremony for every milestone—graduation, engagement, promotion—but silence for the moments of struggle, failure, or choosing a different route.

In this episode, Makena shares a personal story of leaving employment and plunging into seven years of what felt like chaos, shame, and being "stuck in quicksand".

Discover why the space where you feel lost, broke, or behind is actually your sacred swamp—your chrysalis. This is an invitation to stop running on shame fuel , embrace the dark, and start building an internal support system that validates your worth simply because you exist.

Setbacks aren't punishments; they're portals. Stop trying to get back on the conveyor belt and learn to redefine failure.
