In this episode, I dive into the inevitable moments when life simply doesn't go as planned. Whether it's missing a hotel booking, dealing with unexpected work mishaps, or just backing into a garage door, I talk about the power of giving ourselves grace during these times. I share a practical three-step framework to help you respond intentionally: take care of yourself first, thoughtfully handle the situation, and then move forward. I also answer a thoughtful listener question about balancing life roles and how having too many—or too few—can impact our fulfillment. Life’s messes are universal, but how we handle them determines our growth, our peace, and ultimately, our joy.

Key Takeaways:

• Give yourself permission to feel emotions and process mistakes with healthy outlets like walking or journaling.

• Life will throw curveballs—what matters is how we choose to respond.

• Use my three-step framework: care for yourself, respond to the issue, and then release it.

• Letting go of anger and resentment is a gift you give to yourself and those around you.

• Take a closer look at your roles in life—too many may stretch you thin, too few may leave you unfulfilled.
