Episode 97 - The Universe Is Testing You — What I Learned When Everything Was Going Right (And Then It Wasn't)

You know that feeling when everything is finally clicking? The work is landing, the opportunities are flowing, and for the first time in a long time you think — okay, this is it. And then something hits you sideways and your brain goes straight to: I knew it was too good to be true.

Yeah. That happened to me.

In this episode, I'm getting personal about a really good stretch, professionally — six new clients, a major brand pitch, a feature on Chatelaine Magazine's podcast, and a sold-out Panama retreat in seventy-two hours — and the moment a piece of unexpected news sent me straight into panic, self-doubt, and full-on fix-it mode before I even had the full picture.

I'm also sharing a story from one of my clients that mirrors the exact same cycle — because this isn't just a business lesson. It's a pattern that so many of us live in without even realizing it. The go-go-go and collapse. The spiral. The shame. The "what is wrong with me?"

And then — the light bulb.

In this episode we talk about:

• Why our brains go straight to worst-case scenario (and why that's not a character flaw)
• The fix-it reflex — and what it's actually costing you
• Why rest is productive even when it feels like falling behind
• What the universe is really doing when it throws you a curveball
• How to break the cycle — and what it looks like to actually trust the process

This one is personal, honest, and one I think a lot of you are going to hear yourselves in. Whether you're navigating perimenopause, building something new, or just trying to find your footing in a season that feels bigger than you expected — this episode is for you.
