The turning point came when I couldn't pay my Wi-Fi bill. After decades of responsible financial management, I found myself at 50, alone in a three-bedroom cottage, watching my resources completely disappear despite my best efforts. This wasn't the comfortable, settled midlife I had envisioned as a child.

My journey through what astrologers call a "Pluto square Sun" transit stripped away everything I thought defined me—financial security, partnership, even my sense of pride and purpose. Family members urged me to "get a real job" instead of pursuing coaching and content creation. Yet something within kept pushing me forward, planting seeds in seemingly barren ground while enduring judgment and isolation.

The paradox was that while I knew intellectually what this astrological transit might bring, I fought it every step of the way. I decorated rooms for lodgers who never came, promoted services that attracted few clients, and tried desperately to maintain appearances while my foundation crumbled. What I didn't realize was that no amount of effort would accelerate me through this necessary season of transformation.

Only now, emerging on the other side, can I see how those difficult years prepared me for new growth. From the depths of that struggle came my podcast, a creator network aptly named "Sovereign," and a clearer understanding of my purpose. The seeds planted in darkness are finally beginning to sprout, not because I forced them but because the season has naturally begun to shift.

This episode explores the delicate balance between fate and free will, the power of honoring rather than resisting life's seasons, and the often invisible nature of our most significant progress. As my grandmother wisely said, "We have come from far"—a simple yet profound acknowledgment of the journey.

Whether you're currently navigating your own difficult season or witnessing someone else's struggle, this raw conversation offers perspective on finding sovereignty through surrender, recognizing the divine plan behind our challenges, and giving ourselves grace as we become the best versions of ourselves.

What season are you in right now? And are you fighting it or honoring it?
