Summary

In this episode of Your Own Magic, I explore a feeling so many of us carry quietly: the pressure of being “behind.” Behind on career, on love, on milestones that the world tells us should have happened by now. Together, we’ll unravel the myth of the linear timeline and redefine what success and milestones really mean. From celebrating the quiet achievements that rarely get applause, to noticing the sacred timing that doesn’t match anyone else’s calendar, this conversation is a reminder that you are not late... you are right on time for you. And because I always love a cosmic touch, I close with reflections on the moon as a mirror for our lives. Just like her phases (new, waxing, full, waning) our own cycles of rest and growth are equally valid, equally necessary. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “off schedule,” this is your invitation to breathe, soften, and trust the rhythm of your own becoming.

0:00.0	The moon never apologizes for her faces.
0:16.0	No, no.
0:18.0	She doesn't shine every night. She waxes, She wanes. She disappears. She glows.
0:25.2	And through it all, we love her and we trust her and we know her rhythm has wisdom.
0:30.4	You are the same. Your life will have phases. Times of beginnings, times of momentum, times of illumination, and times of rest and release.
0:43.3	None of them are wasted.
0:45.3	All of them matter.
0:47.3	Sometimes the thing we're waiting for doesn't arrive until we've become the version of ourselves
0:51.3	who can actually receive it.
0:53.3	Or the universe might provide us with challenges
0:55.3	like oh you want this well hmm you need to go through this challenge let's give you a good
1:00.7	obstacle course if you want to accelerate this process of the timeline I have in store for you
1:06.3	I have for you Hello, hello, magical friends. My name is Raquel, and welcome to your own magic, a podcast for the creative and the curious soul. This is season two, Episode 3, September 8th. Welcome, welcome.
1:31.2	I wanted to thank everyone who voted on the logo. Even though I shared the original one much later,
1:37.7	the beautiful black and white one by the artist Broken Isn't Bad, who created this back in 2017,
1:46.2	I believe. I shared that one much later on my sister story, and yet it's still one. It's still won out as the favorite. So the OJ
1:51.1	logo stays, the purple one, the light cute purple one came in as a close second, and then the
1:56.8	orange was a very, very close third. They were almost tied, basically. And so honestly,
2:01.6	I really love them all. So who knows, maybe you'll see the colors pop up in other places somehow,
2:07.6	or maybe in particular episodes. I don't know what I'm going to do with them yet, but I love them
2:11.5	all. So for now, I'd say that the classic is here to stay. But we'll see what the future holds.
