When the vision you were building your life around suddenly cracks… what then?

This episode is your permission slip to be in the in-between, to not know, and to trust yourself anyway.

I chat about:

• A powerful reframe to use when things fall apart: “If this is for me… then now what?”
• Why the void—the in-between—isn’t empty, but deeply alive
• How fear of being “ordinary” might be keeping you from your truth
• What trust really looks like in the middle of transformation
• The surprising metaphor from pottery class that anchors it all

You’ll walk away feeling seen, softened, and maybe even a little braver.

In this episode of the Bold, Brave Woman Project, I reflect deeply on what it means to be a bold, brave woman in today's world, particularly in the context of my own life. I explore how I have allowed my career, relationships, and societal expectations to define me.

After a recent event that left me questioning my path, I share my journey of realising that what I thought I wanted and needed might not truly align with my authentic self. This reflection has been both daunting and enlightening, leading to significant conversations with loved ones, and reevaluations of who I am and who I want to be.

Join me as I unravel these thoughts and feelings, seeking to inspire you to also examine your definitions of boldness and bravery in your own life.
