    95: When Life Changes: Devotion, Impermanence, and What We Carry Forward

    As this year comes to a close, this episode is an invitation to pause. Life doesn’t give us guarantees. Time moves forward whether we’re ready or not. And some days mark a clear before-and-after — the kind of days where nothing ever looks quite the same again. In today’s episode, you’ll hear a deeply personal reflection inspired by three daily readings I return to each morning — The Daily Laws, The Daily Stoic, and The Daily Pressfield. Together, they point to a powerful truth: impermanence sharpens what matters, devotion gives us grounding, and wisdom comes from knowing what to hold tightly and what to hold lightly. You’ll explore how this perspective reshapes the way you think about your goals — especially weight loss — not as something that defines your worth, but as a meaningful practice of self-respect, self-trust, and presence in your life. This episode is for you if you’ve ever wondered: Why it’s worth working toward change even when nothing is promisedHow to care deeply about your goals without clinging to outcomesWhat weight management has to do with identity, integrity, and becoming who you areHow to stay devoted to yourself through seasons of uncertainty and transitionYou’ll leave with a calmer, steadier understanding of why this work matters — and why it’s also okay to hold it lightly. As you move into a new year, this episode offers a gentle reminder:  Try. Care. Show up. And let life remain bigger than any single outcome.

It’s energy.
