259. Chaos

from Now That You Ask · host Akasha Halsey

When life feels like it's happening all at once, how do you stay grounded? In this episode, I reflect on navigating the joyful chaos of publishing my memoir, buying my first home at nearly eighty, and learning that asking for help is often the greatest strength of all. Inspired by a beautiful quote from Alexander Chee, I explore what it means to trust the process, surrender control, and believe that even life's busiest seasons can bring unexpected grace. Sometimes the best thing we can do is stop fighting the chaos, wait for the rain, and watch something beautiful begin to grow. Akasha’s Book I’m so excited to announce that my memoir is now available on Amazon.
