In this episode, I share a personal story about how our big spring break plans to hike and sandboard in Southern Utah were suddenly canceled when my son broke his foot just days before the trip. What started as a huge disappointment turned into a beautiful reminder: life doesn’t always go as planned—but that doesn’t mean it can’t still be meaningful.

We explore how to honor your feelings when things fall apart, the power of pivoting with purpose, and how choosing appreciation for what is—instead of comparing it to what you hoped for—can lift you out of lingering disappointment. If you’ve ever had to shift gears and reimagine your expectations, this episode is for you.
