Episode Synopsis

Ever catch yourself thinking you're "behind" in life? That gnawing feeling that everyone else is progressing faster while you're somehow falling short? You're not alone.These thoughts have been surfacing in my own life recently, prompting me to explore what lies beneath this universal human experience. Despite regularly discussing positive mindset and self-belief on this podcast, I'm still human—I question my abilities, wonder if I'm doing enough, and sometimes wish I'd started sooner on certain paths.What I've discovered is that while acknowledging these feelings is healthy, lingering in them isn't serving us. When we dwell in the past, it manifests as depression; when we constantly project into the future, we experience anxiety. The real power exists only in the present moment—right here, right now—where we can take tangible action to close the gap between our current reality and desired future.This realization comes at a significant time as I approach my Saturn Return—an astrological transit occurring around ages 28-30 that brings profound life lessons and restructuring. My Saturn Return falls in my 11th house (governing future visions and community) and in Aries (highlighting courage and leadership), perfectly aligning with these themes of personal evolution and finding my unique path.Remember: your journey isn't meant to mirror anyone else's. The experiences that feel like delays or detours are actually essential components of your specific evolution, building the resilience and wisdom you couldn't have acquired any other way. Instead of wishing things had happened sooner, what if you poured that energy into taking one step today toward the future you're creating?Wherever you are in your journey, know that you'll never be in this exact place again. There's something precious about your current circumstances, even as you work toward something new. I'd love to hear how you're embracing your unique timeline—share your thoughts and join our community of fellow travelers on this beautiful, messy human journey.Subscribe to my Newsletter HERE Follow me on Instagram HERE
