Ep 14: How Long You Stay in the Valley - Feeling Without Dwelling

Recently, someone very close to me went through three rounds of interviews for a job they really wanted.And then... they didn't get it.I watched them sit with the disappointment. Really feel it.And then I watched something beautiful: I watched them pivot.Not immediately. Not dismissively. Not with 'ick' positivity.But after feeling the feelings, they refocused on what's next.It got me thinking: The question isn't whether we'll end up in the valley. We all do. The question is: How long will we stay there?In this episode, I share:The difference between processing and dwellingHow to hold space for disappointment without getting stuckPractical tools for the pivot (feel first, then ask "what's next?")"Nothing that's meant for you passes you by" - without being dismissiveWhy the exhaustion after the pivot is normalThe invitation: You can feel the feelings AND choose to refocus. You can honour what hurts AND trust what's coming. You get to do both.Duration: 10 minutes
