Have you ever planned your life a certain way — only to have unexpected circumstances completely change the course? Maybe you’ve dreamed of traveling, starting a family, or building your ideal future… and suddenly, a door closes. The path you imagined disappears. And you’re left with grief, doubt, and the quiet question: What now?

In this deeply personal, cozy podcast café episode, I share my story of one of those moments — how a literal closed road during a day trip in Switzerland became a powerful reminder for life. We’ll gently explore how to cope when life doesn’t go as planned, the grief that comes with letting go of old dreams (especially around infertility and life transitions), and how to start seeing unexpected detours as part of your new, beautiful story, embracing change.

If you’ve ever faced disappointment, grief, or uncertainty — this episode is for you. You’re not alone in longing for answers, struggling with trust, or navigating the heartbreak of changed plans.

Let’s sit together for this honest conversation, and remind ourselves that sometimes, the closed path leads to places we never could’ve imagined — even if it takes time to see the beauty.
