    30. Becoming: When the Hard Thing Becomes the Teacher

    Happy 30 episodes of Prompting the Soul!!!! Today's episode is a vulnerable one for me. I share my journey with getting my Narcolepsy diagnosis and navigating life with it. Even six years after my diagnosis, I still struggle to find the right words to talk about what it is like to live with it, but this episode felt like the right place to try. We talk about post-traumatic growth, the quiet strength that comes from carrying something invisible, and why the hardest moments sometimes become the most defining ones. Enjoy 3

    28. The "Right" Path: Clarity Cannot Be Forced

    HIYAH! It's good to be back. This time, I am hoping to stay for the summer. Lately, I've been haunted by the "what's next?" question. I've seen people around me questioning the same thing. Should I move? Should I go back to school? Should I quit my job? You know the drill. Today I share my own experience on wondering "what's next?" and offer ways to rephrase this question in our lives. I hope you enjoy today's reflection!!!!

    27. Courage to be Average: When Success Is Not The Goal

    Hi, we are back with a new episode. This one I didn't even bother taking notes for. I've been thinking and journaling about this for days, and as I was stressed about what to talk about for my next episode, this just made sense. The idea that success shouldn't be my main goal is becoming increasingly enticing. It also helps take the pressure off things, and I'm really liking how it's making me feel. I hope you enjoy the conversation!

    26. Using Joy as Data: The Importance of Slowing Down

    HI, happy 2026! I'm back with a new episode. This one is a bit of a catch-up before we dive into regulating our nervous systems, techniques to slow down, and why chasing JOY is the best medicine for keeping us grounded through life's ups and downs. I had so much fun writing and recording this one. Enjoy! 3
