It Will All Make Sense One Day—Embrace Your Journey | Life Lesson Quotes — Sayen Gates | Ep 162

In this episode of Relatable Wisdom, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Sayen Gates, a life coach and doula from South Carolina—and the host of the Shadow Corner podcast. Sayen shared two powerful quotes that guide her journey: “It will all make sense one day” (author unknown), and Maya Angelou’s wise words, “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” Her stories remind us that the road to transformation isn’t always straightforward, and the challenges we face often have meaning that’s only clear in hindsight. Sayen candidly opened up about how these quotes shaped her path—both in discovering her own voice through poetry and embracing the process behind her growth. For anyone feeling stuck or overlooking their journey’s value, this episode is an invitation to honor your struggles and appreciate the resilience it takes to evolve. There’s so much wisdom here for listeners seeking courage to embrace every stage of their own metamorphosis.Connect with Sayen GatesWebsite: https://www.shadowcornerlifecoaching.com/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/shadowlifecoaching/If Relatable Wisdom speaks to you—if a quote shared makes you pause, smile, or see things differently—consider subscribing so you never miss an episode.
