Summary

This year has been a mess for most people... myself ~very much~ included. It all started in January and went downhill pretty quickly from there. Reece and I went from our usual happy, optimistic and upbeat selves to feeling defeated, hopeless and pessimistic. It wasn't just one thing that went wrong; it felt like every time we finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel the tunnel was extended and the light disappeared. I do want to mention that a lot of what went wrong wasn't a huge deal in the scheme of things, and we are so grateful to still have our health in times like these, but this episode is less about what went wrong and more about how it made us feel, and how that ties into the deeper meaning behind everything happening the way it did. It really brought it home that what's meant for you will never miss you and what misses you was never meant for you. I won't give too much away, but if you're interested in listening to a little story time and have an hour and a half (yikes) spare, then I hope you enjoy :) x

0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome to the Mental Makeover podcast. I'm Lauren Curtis. You've probably heard the phrase,
0:06.4	the grass is always greener on the other side, but I believe it's greener where you water it.
0:12.2	This podcast is here to provide you with meaningful advice from myself and others in order to give
0:18.2	your little patch of grass the best chance to grow and flourish.
0:23.0	Hey guys, thanks for tuning in. I am here with this episode. This in little asterisks's
0:30.7	episode, the one that I've been talking about doing for the last decade. No, I've just been, yeah, I've been saying so much has been going on, a lot's been changing,
0:42.3	and I haven't actually given any insight into what that actually is,
0:47.3	purely because I have been saving it for this podcast episode,
0:51.3	because there's too much to go into, and I can't share one part of the story
0:55.1	without sharing the whole thing. It will be a long episode. It will first sound like a lot of me
1:02.1	talking about me, but I promise you there is like a deeper meaning behind it all, which I am
1:07.9	excited to share. It really does bring a lot of what I've been talking about
1:12.6	on this podcast into practice, and there are a lot of full circle moments. So even though on the
1:19.6	surface, it's all like a lot of first world problems, I guess you could say, it has depth. There is a greater meaning behind it. So just hang in there.
1:30.8	All right. Let's get into it. Let's rewind. To the start of the year,
1:37.2	Reese and I were driving home from a little holiday down south. It is our favorite place ever.
1:43.9	It's a little piece of heaven on earth.
1:46.0	And we go there every year over the New Year's break to, yeah, bring in the new year, basically.
1:51.3	So we're obviously in a great mood coming back from a holiday, who isn't in a great mood?
1:56.3	So I'm driving and Reese gets an email from the owner of the business that he has been subcontracting
2:03.9	through for at least five years, I would say five to ten. And the email basically says,
2:12.1	hey mate, we're closing the business. All the best for the future. Ah yeah, so just a nice little quick to the point
