Come in, grab a warm cup, and travel with me to the North of Norway’s Lofoten islands—where storms were forecast, whales appeared, a seal waved hello from the sea, and the sky finally opened up for the Northern Lights. This is a gentle story about me noticing, that slowly but surely, I had been becoming a pessimist over the past years. I explore how this came to be (hello, infertility’s long shadow) and how a window seat with a view of the ocean's shore invited me back to presence, acceptance, and the courage to be optimistic again. If you’ve been feeling the glass half empty these past days, this episode offers a soft reset: wait, see, and let life surprise you.

You'll find in this episode

🫧a tender travel diary from my journey to the Lofoten in Norway

🫧a mindset shift from worry to wonder

🫧a reminder to be here, now

🫧whales and moose and seals 🐳

If you’ve ever caught yourself expecting disappointment more than magic, this story is for you. Together we’ll explore what it means to return to our more optimstic full glass versions of ourselves, and how a simple window seat overlooking the sea can teach us to wait, to see, and to believe in brighter skies ahead.
