Episode Synopsis

In this week’s episode of Jumping Into Jupiter, I open up about the surprising reality of reconnecting with people from my past — and realizing the connection doesn’t feel the same anymore. I talk about how time changes us in ways we don’t always see until we’re face-to-face with an old version of ourselves… or an old relationship.I share what it feels like when the vibe just isn’t there, when you’ve grown but the other person hasn’t, and how awkward it can be when your energy no longer matches. I even get into how environment plays a huge role — like how in Utah I always felt judged or boxed in, but in Dallas? Literally no one cares, and reconnecting feels so much lighter.I also talk about the hard truth that sometimes you reconnect just to realize the friendship was always one-sided — that you were the one doing all the giving. And as uncomfortable as that realization can be, it also brings a lot of clarity and closure.This episode is all about giving yourself permission to move forward, honoring the past without forcing it into your present, and embracing the growth that shows you exactly where you belong now.
