[36] When You Feel Behind in Life: Rewriting the Story of Your Transformation

What do you do when you look back on your journey and feel like you have nothing to show for it? For years, I told myself the story that I had wasted time—that I should be farther along in my personal growth and becoming. But recently, I realized I've been deep in the inner work of transformation, and none of that time was wasted. In this episode, I share how the past 8 years have been a season of profound inner change—navigating kids leaving the nest, unexpected choices my children made, shifts in my faith practices, and the new physical realities of an aging body (hello, perimenopause). Using the metaphor of a butterfly's cocoon, I'll show you why unseen transformation is just as valuable as the kind you can point to on the outside. If you've ever felt behind in your becoming, this conversation will help you see your journey with new eyes—and maybe even embrace the cocoon you're in right now. You'll hear: How the story you tell about your transformation shapes your experience of it Why slow, unseen seasons of growth matter more than we think The butterfly cocoon metaphor that reframes your "hidden" becoming How to rewrite your own transformation story to see the beauty in it   Subscribe to my newsletter here.
