But What If it Doesn’t All Work Out?
Today’s new episode of the Slow Living Podcast is a bit different than others I have done — because today I want to explore a bit about what happens when things DON’T work out.
It stinks.
It feels lousy.
It’s disappointing and unfair and makes you angry and dismayed and discouraged.
Being really upset and discouraged is part of the human experience — albeit a totally crappy part.
And that’s what episode 190 is all about.
In this heartfelt episode, we dive into the highs and lows of chasing big dreams—and what happens when things don’t go as planned. From lavish daydreams about helping your family and friends to the harsh reality of setbacks, we explore how to navigate disappointment without losing hope.
You’ll hear why hustle culture isn’t the final word on success and how setting small, achievable goals can help you move forward with clarity and purpose.
If you’ve ever felt like a failure because your dreams didn’t come true, this conversation is for you.
We talk about embracing your emotions, letting go of perfection, and gently redirecting your path when needed. Tune in for an honest, uplifting look at resilience, self-compassion, and redefining what it means to succeed. Whether you’re navigating a pivot or seeking your next milestone, this episode will meet you right where you are.
Within this episode we also talk about graduating high school seniors who are disappointed they didn’t get into the college they wanted to, even when they did “everything right.”
