Life's Curveballs: When Shock Hits, Let it! The Power of Doing Nothing

Send us a text

Have you ever had life suddenly pull the rug out from under you? That gut-punch moment that leaves your chest heavy, your mind racing, and your emotions all over the place? In this raw and personal episode, I share a fresh experience of being blindsided by unexpected news that shook me to my core—and what I learned by not rushing to fix it.

Whether it’s job changes, loss, shocking news, or simply the weight of everything piling up at once, we all face moments that leave us feeling anxious, uncertain, and completely overwhelmed. Today, I’m walking you through what it looked like for me—tears, overthinking, and all—and how pressing pause instead of reacting changed everything.

✨ In this episode you’ll hear:

Why your first instinct to fix, plan, or distract might not serve you

How doing nothing for a moment can create the space your mind and heart need

The hidden buildup behind emotional breakdowns—and why it’s rarely just about the news itself

How to give yourself grace when your reaction surprises you (or even embarrasses you)

Tips to stay grounded and process unexpected change so you can come back clearer and stronger

Plus, we’ll talk about why it’s so important to be gentle with yourself (and with others) when life hits hard—because what might seem small to you could be the final straw for someone else.

Thank you for tuning in! I truly appreciate every one of you, whether you’re here for the first time or have been with me from the start.
