Why I’m Still Here — and Why My Creations Exist

from Life's A Trip - I Forgot The Map · host Misty G

We’re taught how to shrink ourselves—to fit in, to be easier, to take up less space.But no one gives us a map for finding ourselves again.In this episode, I share where I’m at right now—mentally, emotionally, and creatively—and why this podcast exists in the first place. I talk about mental health, self-discovery, quiet growth, and why things can be deeply in motion even when it doesn’t look like much is happening on the outside.I also share what’s coming up next, including an upcoming interview episode with Amy about my book The Love She Never Expected, along with other projects unfolding behind the scenes.This isn’t about having it all figured out.It’s about choosing not to disappear anymore.📖 The Love She Never Expected is available on AmazonKindle: https://a.co/d/a911RI3Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GD64W9LR
