You Make Sense

What To Do When Life Doesn't Happen on Your Timeline

Episode Summary

What if you’re not behind at all, but right on time for the life that’s uniquely yours? In this episode of You Make Sense, Sarah explores the emotional weight of unmet timelines and how grief, comparison, and trauma can leave us feeling stuck or wondering if we’ll ever get “there”. She guides you through why things might not be unfolding as quickly—or in the exact order—you might have hoped for, and how to begin finding purpose and power right here in the waiting. Together we’ll explore how to work at the level of your nervous system to create the internal safety that makes expansion possible so you can meet your life with more trust, presence, and ease. This episode is a loving reminder that your path isn’t linear, and it’s certainly not a race. You’re right on time.
