Intentions, Rage, and Naming the Things We're Living With

In this episode of The Life We're Living Now, Jamie and Colleen reflect on the intentions they set for the year and how quickly those intentions meet the realities of everyday life. They talk about prioritizing their own needs after years of caregiving, choosing self-compassion over sacrifice, and navigating shifting family dynamics as children grow up and relationships change. The conversation moves through moments of rage, humor, tenderness, and deep honesty — including how it feels to live alongside uncertainty and health concerns without letting fear take the lead. Rather than offering advice or solutions, this episode centers on naming what's happening, allowing space for complexity, and recognizing that part of adulthood is learning how to carry hard things while still living fully and laughing along the way. It's a real conversation about what it means to keep showing up for the life you're living now.
