Did you see? My new book Embrace Your Almost is officially out in the world, and I can't believe it's available to you.

Anywhere Books are sold, you can grab it from Amazon or Target or Barnes and Noble or Books and Millions.

There's some special editions out there too. Target has an exclusive edition, Barnes and Noble and Books and Millions both have signed editions.

And you can also get it at local independent bookstores. Anywhere Books are sold, you should be able to find it.

So if you are walking through a season of Unmet Expectations or Disappointment or Broken Dreams or Waiting or Uncertainty, this book will bless your life.

If you are not in one of those seasons, but you're just not entirely sure what's next for you, this book will bless your life.

And if you have a loved one or a friend or a sister who's walking through a season like that, who's dealing with Unmet Expectations or Broken Dreams or Uncertainty or Waiting, this book will be such a great gift for her or something to pass on to her.

So if that sounds like something you need or something a loved one in your life needs, grab a copy.

Grab a copy from Amazon, grab a copy from Barnes and Noble, from Target, from Anywhere Books or Sold.

I cannot wait to hear what you think and I cannot wait to not only get this message in your hands, but also for you to pass on this message and share it because I believe it's more than a message, it's a movement.

So as you listen, as you go about your day, I would love for you to put it in order, grab a copy and start reading as soon as it arrives by your door.

Hey, hey, welcome to the next episode in this series that we are doing on navigating Unmet Expectations or in other words, embracing your almost, the almost achieved dream, the almost relationship, the would be happily ever after that hasn't quite worked out how you thought.

And today I want to talk through the feeling of being almost there.

And when I say that, what I mean is that feeling of like, man, there's so much that's worked out in my life that I'm so thankful for are things that are going well.

But if this one area over here that's been stubborn and frustrating and difficult, which is figure itself out, I would feel a lot more whole, complete, satisfied, happy with my life, fill in and blank, however you want to describe it.

And I think a lot of us can get caught up in that feeling of like, if I just hit this level in my career, if I just made this amount of revenue, if I just healed my skin, if I just had a family, if I just met my person, like if just that one thing would finally like work itself out, I would feel satisfied.

I would be happy. My life would be complete. And I think what's really hard is sometimes when we believe that it can feel like the finish line is moving because even when we do make progress, it never quite feels like enough, there's always another thing that we could, you know,

hope for as soon as you have a family, you want the house as soon as your skin heals, you want, you know, to feel better with pain in your body or whatever it may be.

So my point is like, it's not that those aren't worthy things to pursue desire or want. It's just that that feeling of like, gosh, I'm always almost where I want to be.

I'm doing all the right things. I'm doing everything I can to heal or everything I can to meet the right person, I'm putting myself out there, I'm doing everything I can to grow my business, I'm doing everything I can to fill in the blank.

And it's still not quite where I want to be. I've made progress. I've had some positive experiences, but man, like it just hasn't quite hand out how I thought it would by now or hasn't quite resolved the way I thought it would by now.

I just want to validate that you are not the only one feeling that way. And I think the biggest challenge with this feeling is that it can make us feel like we're behind or like we're not doing enough or like there's something wrong with us.
