How to Keep Showing Up During Difficult Seasons (Even When You Want to Hide)

When life feels overwhelming, it’s tempting to withdraw — to disappear into the background and hope no one notices your struggle. But what if showing up, even in small ways, is the most powerful thing you can do? In this honest and tender episode, I share my own experience navigating a tough season — the emotional rollercoaster of job applications and rejection emails — and how I’m learning to keep showing up through it all. This isn’t about pretending to be okay; it’s about making space for honesty, gentleness, and hope. If you’ve been feeling invisible, discouraged, or tempted to go into hiding — this episode is for you. You’re not alone, and you’re not behind. Let’s walk this road together.

The Danger of Thinking About What Could Have Been

Have you ever caught yourself wondering how different your life would be if a certain opportunity had worked out? A job offer that fell through, a relationship that didn’t last, a path you didn’t take? It’s easy to get lost in the “what could have been,” but the truth is, that kind of thinking can keep us stuck.In this episode, we explore the emotional weight of dwelling on missed opportunities and why constantly looking back can prevent us from fully embracing the present. I also share a personal story about a job that didn’t come through and how, in hindsight, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.We’ll discuss how to shift from “what if” to “what now,” how to trust the bigger picture, and practical ways to let go of regrets so you can focus on the life that’s unfolding in front of you.Listen in, and remember: what’s ahead is always greater than what’s behind.

Staying Away from People Who Think They’re Doing You a Favour by Being with You

Relationships should be built on mutual respect and appreciation—not obligation. But sometimes, we find ourselves around people who act like they’re doing us a favour by being in our lives.

If someone makes you feel like you have to constantly prove your worth just to keep them around, this episode is for you.Tune in and remember: You are valuable. The right people will never make you feel like a burden.🎧 Listen now and share with someone who needs this reminder!
