Can We Trust Even When Life Feels Scary?

I used to think that if I planned well enough, I could keep my life safe and steady. I thought being in control was the same as being happy. Life doesn’t always follow our plans. Lately, my world has felt like a storm. Between the deaths of five people, my son’s transition after prison, and my sister’s diagnosis with breast cancer, the ground has felt very shaky. I’ve learned that when the world is chaotic, I can’t control what happens outside. Instead, I am continuing on my journey as the “architect” of my own heart.

When things feel overwhelming, we often find ourselves in a knot of Thoughts, Emotions, and Actions (T.E.A.). Our thoughts try to anticipate the “what-ifs,” emotions feel heavy, and actions become frantic as we try to fix things we cannot control. Being an architect isn’t about stopping the storm. It’s about building a strong, safe house inside ourselves so we can stay standing while the wind blows. 

I can’t change a medical diagnosis or a legal situation; however, I can choose how I show up for myself and the people I love.

Trusting isn’t about knowing exactly how things will turn out. It’s about knowing that I have the strength to handle whatever happens next. It’s about being kind to myself, setting boundaries that protect my heart, and finding peace in the middle of the mess.

It is why I wrote my 4-week course.  If you are going through a hard season and feel like you’re losing your footing, I want to help. My T.E.A. Course is a place to learn to untangle our thoughts, emotions, and actions to find your calm again. I’d love for you to join the healing journey.

Who are the people in your life whom you trust the most? Think about both those who are present and those you’ve lost touch with. As you reflect on these important connections, who are the ones you want to have in your life?

In June, I shared how my 12-year marriage could have been 39 years. Was all that time wasted? I do not believe so, and here’s why.

If I had married Scott the first time he asked, it’s probably safe to say we would not be together now. My story details the journey I had to take, and the lessons I learned to become a good partner – both to myself and to him. It wasn’t easy. It required me to dig deep and learn some hard, essential truths about myself along the way.

This brings me to why I encourage you to reflect on the people from your past, and those who are currently in your life. The foundation of building your community lies in identifying those who enrich your days, versus those who drain your energy. You are the CEO (Chief Energy Officer) of your life.
