In this episode of Big Meaningful Life, I share a deeply personal conversation recorded during a season of transition in my own life. We dive into what it really means to navigate change, hold space for sensitivity, and redefine balance when life feels both beautiful and heavy.

For years, I thought balance meant keeping everything “in check.” But I’ve learned it’s less about holding still and more about learning to recalibrate—again and again. In this conversation, I open up about the challenges of being a highly sensitive person in a noisy world, the cost of ignoring inner signals, and the surprising freedom that comes when we let go of the need to do it all.

Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode:

• Balance isn’t static—it’s a practice of continuous recalibration.
• Change often feels heavy and joyful at the same time—and that’s normal biology, not failure.
•  Sensitivity, when honored, becomes a form of intelligence and strength.
•  Boundaries aren’t barriers—they’re anchors that protect your energy and relationships.
•  Redefining success means measuring it by alignment, not by achievement alone.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, caught between gratitude and overwhelm, this episode is your invitation to pause and ask: What does balance mean for me, right now?
