83. 10 Things I Learned in the Hard Seasons

Welcome to the first episode of a 10-week series on the You Get to Decide podcast.

This season is called 10 Things I Learned in My Hard Seasons, and over the next 10 weeks, I’m sharing 100 lessons pulled directly from the hardest seasons of my life.

Real lived truth.

In this first episode, I lay the groundwork for the entire series.

I share what I learned after years of anxiety, shame spirals, binge eating, self-sabotage, chronic self-doubt, survival mode, and believing there was something wrong with me.

What I learned is this:

You were never broken

You were never behind

And you were never alone

Hard seasons don’t mean you’re failing.

They mean something real is being revealed.

In this episode, I walk you through the core truths that changed everything for me, including

• Why I stayed in hard seasons longer than I needed to

• How shame and self-judgment prolong suffering

• Why desire is not a flaw but a guide

• How compassion moves you forward faster than force

• Why you never needed fixing, only understanding

• How returning to yourself is the most linear path there is

This episode is for you if-

You feel like life has been harder than it should be

You’ve questioned your capability

You’ve wondered if something is wrong with you

You’re exhausted from trying to fix yourself

You know you’re meant for more but don’t know how to get there

This season is a reminder

Every road leads back to you.
