Hello there friend!

Happy OCTOBER 1st!

Ahhh how the season is changing here in Virginia! The leaves are starting to fall along with other things...lol, which brings me to my first question...

Have you ever been hit upside the head by an acorn?

I sure hope not! It's not the most pleasant experience - haha.

This happened to me on my morning walk today & it was if nature itself gave me a big "ah ha" breakthrough.

You see, if I'm completely transparent with you, lately I've been coming up against some pretty big & terrifying changes in my life & business. & if I'm honest, I've been avoiding & procrastinating & getting tired of trusting the process.

So much so, I've questioned if I'm even on the right path in the first place.

Have you ever found yourself here? Questioning if the future you want is more than just a dream?

The question I asked myself this morning while reflecting was:

What does it actually mean to "trust the process"? I mean, does the process even know you are trusting it?

The truth is our minds love FACTS, & therefore it can be really hard to release control & trust details of your life to the unknown...even if you believe that God has your back.

In Episode 173, I share very real details of what I learned on my morning walk & what to do when you find yourself wanting to "trust the process", but you just...don't yet!

The good news: seasons change sis....& so do you!

I encourage you to listen in to today's show & allow yourself to be present in the moment as I share my story with you.

I'm so honored for your listen of the podcast & hope you send this one to someone you love!

+ I would love for you to reply back here if you enjoy Episode 173!

with recovery hugs,

lindsey
