In this deeply personal solo episode of the M3 podcast, I share my recent experiences and emotional processing from a very "weird" weekend. I talk about the reflective nature of completing significant life projects and the ensuing feelings of emptiness that I relate to as 'post show blues'. I candidly opened up about past deep dark thoughts, the importance of purpose, and the transformative event of her neighbor's unexpected death. This episode explores themes of life appreciation, embracing change, and the emotional labor involved in coaching and personal growth. I also touch upon the importance of financial education and prioritizing investments for a fulfilling future. Concluding with a heartfelt message about cherishing relationships, shedding negativity, and embracing life's seasons of change.
