Plot twist: the life you planned isn’t the life you’re living — now what?

In this raw and empowering episode of Lead Like a Girl, we dive headfirst into unexpected changes, personal growth, resilience, and adaptability — and how life’s detours often become our biggest breakthroughs.

From travel mishaps and cultural quirks to career pivots, faith shifts, and identity reinvention, we unpack the messy middle of life transitions. Because let’s be honest — there are “too many rules,” and sometimes you realize… you can’t drink in that state. 😅

Whether you’re navigating a career pivot, redefining success beyond relationships, adjusting to motherhood, or simply trying to make sense of a season that looks nothing like you expected — this conversation will remind you that change isn’t the enemy. Stagnation is.

We explore the emotional side of unexpected change, the myth of the master plan, and how journaling, faith, and flexible thinking can help you build true resilience.
