And so that why, if you can identify it, whether it's having an outlet for creative expression, liking to see yourself get better at something, giving back to your community, showing empathy for others, whatever the why is, it can be a soft landing for people when life makes other plans for you and can help you build a more resilient, almost a fortress that can buttress you in those moments.
And so as I'm navigating my present day change,
I'm trying to ask myself, well, what were you craving from parenthood, right?
What were you craving from motherhood?
And if you don't end up having a family, what are other ways that you can express those same desires in life, right?
And so I have found that to be a very, very helpful reframe for me that has made me feel whole even when life has threatened my big dreams.
It's such a wonderful, interesting philosophical question.
I envy those with religious faith.
I'm actually agnostic.
And I don't have that.
I don't have that thing to fall back on when things happen.
And in many ways, I've written a secular guide for people.
So I hope that people have...
other mechanisms to navigate their big changes, right?
It's wonderful that you have your faith to fall back on.
For me personally, I don't have that if I'm just being honest, right?
And so I think my spiritual life is defined by my love for others and the love that I receive back.
Like that's my working model of existence and what brings life meaning, right?
And I do find a lot of strength in those spaces
And I also think that my soft landing is human psychology.
