Summary

A month or so ago, I uploaded a podcast episode called 'sooo my life has been a bit of a mess this year', and the response really surprised me. So often when we're going through something tough, we feel isolated and alone; as if we're the only ones having a rough time. It wasn't until I uploaded that episode that I realised the sheer volume of other people in the exact same position, all clinging to a glimmer of hope that things will get better. It got me thinking. I managed to get out of my year-long rough patch, which means I can now look back on it in hindsight, and see it for what it was. I've been able to identify the myriad of lessons I learnt along the way, why seemingly bad things just had to happen in order for me to achieve the result I wanted, what I would do differently next time and what I wouldn't change for the world. It was another reminder of the importance of letting go of the 'hows' and trusting in your end result, no matter how bumpy the road to get there might be. This episode talks through all of that. I hope you enjoy! Please don't forget to subscribe, rate and review if you enjoyed :) x

0:49.7	so my life has been a little bit of a mess recently, a podcast episode, which is a few episodes back,
0:55.6	if you haven't listened to it already.
0:58.4	A lot of people messaged and reached out and said, wow, it's so nice to hear that, you know,
1:04.8	your situation turned out the way that it did.
1:07.9	I'm in a similar situation, and it's's been a nightmare and it feels like there's
1:11.7	no light at the end of the tunnel and obviously this year for most people has just been a hot mess.
1:17.1	It's this kind of, we all are feeling like it's just one thing after the other and it all just
