Episode 33: Design a Life You Don't Want to Escape From
"You don't need a total life makeover to feel better. You just need one small moment that makes you glad to be here.” - Rebecca Ann
So... When Was the Last Time You Enjoyed Your Life?
Let me start with a cheeky little question:
When's the last time you didn't want to run away from your life?
Like, truly felt content - not counting the moment you took off your bra and flopped on the couch with a glass of wine?
(We've all been there.)
For a long time after loss, I felt like I was living on autopilot. My days were full of "have to's" and emotional landmines. And while I may not have actually packed a bag and moved to a remote island (yet).... I definitely daydreamed about it more than once.
But here's the truth I had to face:
I didn't need a new postcode (not just yet).
I needed a new perspective.

You Don't Need to Escape - You Need to Redesign
We're sold this idea that joy is waiting on the other side of a major transformation - new job, new man, new hair (hey, I'm not knocking the bangs). But what if joy doesn't require a big life makeover?
What if it's already hiding in your current life - just waiting for you to make space for it?
Here's the shift:
Instead of fantasizing about an escape plan, I started creating pockets of peace, joy, and meaning in the life I am now living. Small things. Quiet things. Things that made me feel just a little more me again.
✨ Lighting a candle before I journal
✨ Standing in the morning sun with my tea
✨ Saying no to things that drained me
✨ Putting my phone down and putting music on instead
Tiny shifts. Major impact.
The Little Ritual That Changed My Days
One of the very first things I did that made me feel like I was back in the driver's seat of my own life?
I added a wellness ritual to my mornings: Tahitian Noni Juice.
It's become my daily "I've got this" moment. One small shot, packed with goodness that supports my energy and immune system. But honestly? It's more than what's in the bottle. It's the message it sends: I'm worth taking care of.
Start Small - You Don't Need to Do It All
Here's your permission slip to stop chasing the "big thing" and start making micro changes that matter.
You don't have to quit your job, sell your house, or hike to the Himalayas to feel alive again. You can start by doing one thing differently today.
And if you're not sure what that one thing could be? I've got you.
