Recorded at the cliffside where Ocean Notes was born, this final episode reflects on the experience of pushing away from the familiar shore — and discovering that the journey itself is the point.

I share a story of four women who rowed across the Pacific Ocean, and how their journey mirrors the quiet inner crossings so many of us make: the uncertainty, the strength we didn’t know we had, and the moment we finally feel the shoreline inside ourselves.

If you’re in a season of transition or stepping into something unknown, I hope this episode meets you right where you are.

Some rejections feel like they shake our entire foundation. This one did.

What I couldn’t see in that moment was that the "no" that broke me open was also redirecting me toward my own path, my own work, and the spaces I was meant to create.

If you’re holding a painful "no" right now, this episode might help you see the hidden yes beneath it.

There comes a moment in life when your adult self finally arrives — steady, clear, awake — and begins to sort through the layers you’ve built to survive.

In this episode, I share the experience that shook me awake and the quiet realization that followed: we’re not locked into the versions of ourselves shaped by necessity.
We can keep the parts that serve us,and gently let go of the rest.

A reflection on identity, survival strategies, and choosing who you are becoming.
