35. Life's Chaos: Embracing the Unexpected
You ever have one of those weekends where you swear you’ve got your life together—then realize you accidentally threw your systems out the window somewhere between school drop-off and the trunk-or-treat? 😅
🧡 The Vibe:
This one’s a confession. I talk a big game about simplifying, planning ahead, and honoring my energy, but this past weekend? I set myself up for chaos and paid for it. Between a school event, late-night travel, chronic illness fatigue, and forgetting my own advice, I found myself deep in the “I should know better” zone.
In this episode, I’m calling myself out (with love), reflecting on what went sideways, and showing how I’m using my own Simplifying Life’s Beautiful Bitchiness Rolodex to recover from the burnout spiral.
✨ Takeaway Moment:
Even when life throws her beautiful bitchiness at you, your systems aren’t failing; they’re waiting to help you recover.
