Tea Talk with Darya
Plans Are Cute—Until the Plot Twist Hits
What if letting go wasn’t giving up… but wisdom in action?
In this deeply personal episode, Darya shares how a “failed” plan redirected the course of her life and why clinging to rigid outcomes can block our clarity. From personal stories to reflections on the current state of the world—including what’s happening in Iran—this episode is a gentle yet powerful invitation to surrender the how and come home to trust.
We’ll explore:
- Why complex plans often waste more mental energy than they save
- How a redirection in grad school changed Darya’s life forever
- The difference between surrender and passivity
- What to focus on when you can’t see the path clearly
- A journal prompt to help you release what no longer fits
Journal Prompt:
What version of the plan am I clinging to… even though it no longer fits?
