The Moment I Stopped Trying To Fix Myself

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when staying where you are becomes harder than starting over?In this episode of Life's a Blog, I reflect on Cheryl Strayed's Wild and the powerful lessons it offers about healing, self-discovery, loneliness, and finding the courage to begin again. As I prepare for a major life transition and move toward a quieter life by the lake, I'm learning that personal growth isn't always about having the answers—sometimes it's about taking the next step anyway.We explore how stress, grief, betrayal trauma, and major life changes can show up in the body, why solitude can lead to clarity, and how letting go of unhealthy relationship patterns creates space for peace.I also dive into Fleetwood Mac's Landslide and why its message about change, identity, and trusting yourself perfectly mirrors the journey of rebuilding a life that feels aligned.In this episode:• Lessons from Cheryl Strayed's Wild• Healing after divorce, loss, and betrayal• Why your body knows when something no longer fits• Boundaries, self-worth, and choosing yourself• Letting go of relationships and patterns that no longer serve you• Finding peace through solitude and self-reflection• The deeper meaning behind Fleetwood Mac's LandslideIf you're navigating a life transition, struggling to let go, or learning how to trust yourself again, this episode is for you.Because sometimes becoming wild isn't about losing yourself—it's about finally coming home to who you are.Support the showJust a quick note!
