This song reminds me of you


Hi Reader,

The other day I was driving when one of my favorite songs started playing on K-Love.

I hadn't heard it in quite a while, but it felt very appropriate for those of us who are in the midst of a significant life transition.

The song is "Weary Traveler" by Jordan St. Cyr.

Here are the lyrics:

Weary traveler
Beat down from the storms that you have weathered
Feels like this road just might go on forever
Carry on

You keep on givin'
But every day this world just keeps on takin'
Your tired heart is on the edge of breaking
Carry on

Weary traveler, restless soul
You were never meant to walk this road alone
It'll all be worth it so just hold on
Weary traveler, you won't be weary long

I thought of you.

Not because I think you're broken or need fixing.
But because I know you're carrying so much right now.

You keep showing up. You keep giving.
You keep holding it together for everyone else.

But inside?

You're hanging on by a thread, wondering if this fog will ever lift. Wondering what your next chapter even looks like.
Wondering if you'll ever feel like yourself again.

Here's what I want you to know:

You were never meant to walk this road alone.

And the weariness you're feeling right now?
It doesn't have to last forever.

Close your eyes for a moment and picture this:

Six weeks from now, you wake up feeling grounded even though not everything is settled yet.

The mental fog has lifted enough that you can see your next step clearly.

The exhausting internal monologue has quieted because you finally have language for what you're experiencing.

"I know what matters most to me now."

You look at your week and see meaningful, soul-aligned work that you've built in.

Not just the busy tasks of keeping everything together, but the things that are forming your future.

The things that reflect who you're becoming, not just who you were.

You make a decision without the spiral of second-guessing.
You trust yourself again.

When the overwhelm hits (because it will—that's part of being human in seasons of compounding change), you don't withdraw to protect yourself or race ahead before you're ready.

You know exactly what you need.
You have practices that work for how you're wired.
You have life-giving rhythms built into your life.

You're not trying to go back to who you were.
You're stepping into who you're becoming: grounded, clear, brave.

It's what happens when you stop carrying this alone and get the kind of personalized guidance that actually fits how you're wired.

Brave Becoming was created for exactly this moment in your life.
It's a 6-week self-study journey that helps you:

  • Understand why your particular personality reacts the way it does when everything feels in flux
  • Stay present and grounded instead of either shutting down or pushing through
  • Create a personalized 90-day roadmap that honors both your grief and your hope, so you're not racing ahead, but you're not stuck either

Inside I give you the framework, the grounding practices, and the type-specific action plan to make this your reality.

All at your own pace, on your own schedule.

This isn't about dusting yourself off and pretending you're fine.

It's about learning to be present and move forward with clarity.
It's about trusting and believing that there's a good future ahead and giving yourself the support you need to get there.

Six weeks from now, you could be in a completely different place.

Not because all your transitions will be resolved,
but because you'll know how to navigate them.

You'll have language, tools, and a clear path forward.

You won't be weary long.

And right now, you can get immediate access for the early bird price of $77.
But only until Friday, December 12 when the price goes up.

You were never meant to walk this road alone.
And you don't have to.

Hi Reader, Transitions can feel like you’re inside a snow globe that’s been shaken up. And if you're like most people I talk to, you're not just dealing with one major change. You're navigating three, four, sometimes five significant shifts all at once. Maybe it's a career that's up in the air. Adult kids who are still trying to find their path. Aging parents who need more care. A church community that's changing. An important relationship that's shifted. A loss you're still processing. One...

Hi Reader, Major life transitions have a way of unraveling everything you thought you knew about yourself. One day you're confident and clear, and the next you're wandering through thick fog: questioning every decision exhausted by the constant mental noise wondering if you'll ever feel steady again You want to move forward. You're ready to move forward. But you don't know where to start or what to trust. And the pressure to "figure it all out" right now? It's crushing. I understand. That's...
