This Isn’t the Life I Want… Now What?

How an Unexpected Goodbye (and a Stranger’s Hug) Changed Our Lives
1

How do we know when it’s time to walk away from a life that no longer fits? What makes us brave enough to listen—and what (or who) helps us trust the unknown?

In this honest and heart-opening episode, we share the moments that cracked us open:

🌿 The unexpected goodbye that shifted everything—when Adrien’s mentor whispered “life is so much more than this” before passing away, and why those words wouldn’t let go.
🌿 The hug that lasted until the shoulders dropped—and how a stranger’s way of welcoming people “home” made us rethink belonging, community, and care.
🌿 Ingrid’s moment of collapse in a Swiss apartment, when pain and exhaustion led to the quiet knowing: “this can’t be it.”

We talk about:

  • Why slowing down isn’t always soft or pretty—it’s brave

  • How grief, endings, and discomfort are part of the journey

  • Why “the other side” of quitting, leaving, or changing isn’t a perfect dream—but a place of possibility

  • How we’re creating deeper, smaller circles of connection

  • And why we’re launching Unhurried Voices, an invitation for more perspectives, more stories, and more courage

✨ This episode is for anyone standing at a crossroads, longing for another way, or wondering if it’s too late to start again. Spoiler: it’s not.
