If you’ve ever asked yourself…
Why is this happening?
Why can’t I figure this out?
Why does it still feel this hard?

…then this might be the perspective shift you didn’t know you needed. We’re told to strive, fix, and push our way through the hard stuff. But what if that pressure—to be further along, to be more healed, to make sense of it all—is the very thing getting in the way?  What if the life you’re living right now… is the exact way forward?

The Question That Changes Everything
I ask clients all the time:
What if there was no other way for you to learn what you need to learn than to live through the exact experiences you’re having right now?

It’s a disruptive question.
But when you really sit with it—it can bring so much relief.
Because maybe the goal isn’t to escape this moment.
Maybe it’s to listen to it.
To learn from it.
To receive it as part of your path—not a detour from it.

My Own Turning Point 

For years, I asked all the same questions:
Why didn’t I leave sooner?
How could I not see it?
Why did I stay?
And eventually, the answer became crystal clear:
I hadn’t learned what I needed to learn yet. 
Every step, even the ones I wanted to rush through or undo, brought me to one moment: I choose me or I choose you.
That sentence changed my life. But I couldn’t have gotten there without all the mess before it.
When I stopped judging my pace…
When I released the shame around “not getting it right sooner”…
I finally felt free.

A Different Kind of Healing

What if the struggle isn’t a sign you’re doing it wrong?
What if it’s the very place your next clarity will come from?
Not because it’s easy.
Not because you asked for it.
But because there’s something here for you.
And it’s time to stop resisting it long enough to hear what that might be.
This isn’t about spiritual bypassing.
It’s about spiritual receiving.
What if this isn’t punishment—it’s preparation?What if it’s not chaos—it’s your curriculum?

Try This Today

You don’t need to reframe your whole life overnight.
Just start with the next moment that feels hard.
Pause.
Breathe.
Ask:

  • What is this here to teach me?
  • What is my body trying to say?
  • What would shift if I met this with curiosity instead of resistance?

You don’t need to know the whole map.You just need to trust that this stretch of road matters.
