Sometimes the bravest thing we do isn’t starting over…
It’s starting over again.
In today’s five-minute bonus episode, Dr. Allison Sucamele offers a gentle guided meditation for anyone in a season of rebuilding, recalibrating, or beginning again - not because you failed, but because your life is calling you back to honesty.
This is a quiet place to land if you’re tired, tender, and still willing to try.
Together, we explore:
- why resilience is a process, not a personality trait
- how perfectionism often shows up as protection
- why renewal isn’t an interruption - it’s a cycle
- and a simple 3-breath ritual to help you release, forgive, and begin again gently
If you’ve been carrying pressure to “do it right this time,” let this episode remind you: growth is allowed to be messy… and you are allowed to be human.
