Walk with SMB: Imaginal Cells & the Messy Middle

On a morning walk, three blue jay feathers stop Susan in her tracks — a small moment that opens into a deeper reflection on change and possibility.

In this solo episode, she shares the story of imaginal cells — the cells inside a caterpillar that carry the blueprint for a butterfly. During transformation, the caterpillar doesn't simply change form. It dissolves completely before something new begins to organize.

Through this lens, Susan explores how periods of uncertainty in our own lives may not be signs that something is wrong, but part of a natural process of reorganization.

She reflects on what it means to speak what feels true, how connection is created through that honesty, and why paying attention to what's quietly emerging matters — even when it's not fully formed.

If something in your life feels undefined or in transition, this episode offers a way to hold that space with a bit more curiosity.
