Ep 65 - 2025 Reflections: When Life Took a Wilder Path Than I Planned

Kayleigh Priest Season 3 Episode 65

2025 didn’t turn out how I planned it.
Not in my work, not in my life. not in my heart.

In this episode, I’m reflecting on a year shaped by grief, intuition, and a quieter kind of courage. A year where I didn’t plan to be making candles, didn’t expect to be pouring so much of myself into The Enchantment membership… and didn’t know how deeply losing my Grandad would change me.

I share honestly about grief and how it reshapes us, the unexpected wisdom I’ve learned from my Nan, and why trusting your intuition, even when it takes you wildly off-plan, can be the most life-giving thing you ever do.

This is an episode about finding magic again when life cracks you open.
 About enchantment not as escapism, but as survival.
 And about learning to trust the quieter voice that knows where you’re meant to go next.

If your year didn’t look like you thought it would… this one’s for you.
