I Didn’t Plan Any of This. I Just Followed It.
If you would’ve asked me years ago what I thought I’d be doing with my life, I wouldn’t have said this. I wouldn’t have pointed to the writing, or the teaching, or the way people find their way to me through quiet questions and unseen moments.
None of this was on a vision board.
I didn’t have a five-year plan.
I didn’t have a roadmap.
I didn’t even have the language for what I was becoming.
I just followed it.
One feeling at a time.
One yes that didn’t make sense.
One decision that pulled at something deeper than logic.
I didn’t plan it.
But it led me here.
And now that I’m here, I understand why I couldn’t have designed it in advance.
Because real alignment doesn’t come from control.
It comes from trust.
We live in a world obsessed with clarity before action.
With certainty. With strategy. With answers up front.
But that’s not how intuition works.
It doesn’t give you the whole story.
It gives you the next step.
And you either honor that step, or you don’t.
You either move toward it, or you keep analyzing it to death.
There’s no judgment in either choice.
But there are different outcomes.
the longer you delay what’s already waiting to unfold.
I didn’t know I’d end up writing stories that made people feel seen.
I didn’t know I’d be helping people learn to trust themselves again.
I didn’t know my path would be built one quiet step at a time.
But I did know I couldn’t keep ignoring the feeling.
That feeling that said, this isn’t quite right... and something else is calling.
That’s what I followed.
Even when I didn’t know where it would lead.
Even when no one else saw it.
Even when the next step felt too small to matter.
Because something in me knew:
If I kept waiting for the whole picture, I’d never move at all.
It wasn’t clean.
It wasn’t perfect.
There were detours and doubts and days where I wanted to run back to the safe, explainable life.
But every time I paused…
every time I asked, what do I feel pulled toward, even if I can’t explain it yet?
the answer rose up.
And the moment I followed it, something in me clicked back into place.
That’s what intuition does.
It doesn’t shout.
It doesn’t argue.
It just waits for you to stop negotiating with your truth.
If you’re in that space right now...
The space where the old path doesn’t fit but the new one isn’t clear yet…
I see you.
I’ve been there.
And I can tell you this:
You don’t need to figure it all out.
You just need to get honest about what you already feel.
You don’t need the perfect plan.
You just need the next right step—the one that feels real in your body.
Follow that.
Even if it scares you.
Even if no one else gets it yet.
Because your clarity lives on the other side of your willingness to act before you're sure.
That’s the part no one tells you.
But once you know it… you never forget.
And if you hear something stir—something simple, something soft...
Don’t dismiss it.
That’s where it starts.
That’s where it always starts.
