I find myself living Plan B - and wondering if it was meant to be all along

29min | 08/12/2025

Description

What if the life you’re living right now — the one you once called Plan B — is quietly becoming the life you were meant to love? In this episode, I open up about the unexpected shift that’s happening in my own life: after over eight years of infertility, I find myself slowly and gently questioning if motherhood is still the path I want — or if the unexpected life I’ve built outside of that dream is the one I actually desire. Was being childless maybe the path I secretly always wanted? This isn’t an episode about giving up. It’s about transformation, about embracing change. It’s about:

What happens when your deepest dream doesn’t come true - and you start seeing beauty in what is?

The quiet internal courtroom where “Plan A” and “Plan B” battle it out in your heart

Finding peace with uncertainty, and even joy in choosing yourself and your heartfelt journey.

What it means to re-define purpose, identity, and fulfillment - especially when your life doesn’t follow the expected script.

Whether you're navigating infertility, experiencing change, or moving through a season of deep self-doubt, this episode invites you to pause, breathe, and ask with compassion: What if this life — right now - is already enough?
