What if the hardest year of your life is also the most expansive?
I’m closing the year by sharing five lessons that reshaped everything. How I held grief without labeling it failure, learned the difference between solitude and loneliness, redefined love far beyond romance, healed my nervous system to build real safety, and used travel as integration instead of escape.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why grief showed up in joyful moments and how that became proof that I loved deeply
• The shift from “I’m alone” to “I’m with myself,” and what solitude taught me about self-trust
• Redefining love through friendship, community, and a wildly affirming Galentine’s
• How the love I thought I lost didn’t disappear, it expanded
• Nervous system healing in real life: therapy, breathwork, movement, sleep, and honest self-audits
• Weaning off anxiety medication with medical support, feeling more, and coping better
• Building internal safety and how that unlocked solo travel and expansion
• Doing the things I always said I wanted to do… and finally doing them

Across the high highs and low lows, the throughline is acceptance: all feelings are temporary, and growth happens when we stop outrunning them. This episode is an invitation to reflect on what this year revealed about you—what you’re carrying forward, and what you’re ready to leave behind.

If you’ve been craving reflection, expansion, or permission to meet new parts of yourself, this one’s for you.

I’m taking you to Italy with me, but this isn’t a travel recap. It’s a soul recap.

In this episode, I share how a three-week journey through London, Rome, Capri, Taormina, and Palermo became a turning point in how I see myself, my healing, and what I’m capable of.

I talk about:

• The grief that surprised me in the airport lounge and why grief lives in the body
• How I practiced being with myself (dining alone, wandering, asking for help without shame)
• Ancestral pride and feeling my grandma with me in Italy
• The “I don’t belong here” moments, and how I learned to take up space anyway
• The boat day that cracked something open in me: joy, freedom, and a new capacity to dream bigger
• Why “Vacation Arlyne” isn’t just vacation… she’s me
• My challenge to you: what are you putting off because it’s “never a good time”?

If you’ve been craving expansion, courage, or a reminder that your life can be bigger than the one you’ve been surviving through, this one’s for you.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it really feels like to return to myself after a season of change, divorce finalizing, traveling through Europe, coming home to unexpected fear, unexpected grief, and the quiet rebuilding that happens in the messy middle.

This isn’t a story about being “finished” or having it all figured out.
It’s a story about remembering who you are, even after life shakes you in ways you didn’t expect.

Inside the episode, I talk about:

• Why self-discovery is a cycle, not a destination
• The version of me I met while traveling, and why I miss her
• What knocked me off-center when I came home
• Letting joy back in when fear takes over
• Anchor points, shadows, and nervous system healing
• What solitude taught me during a literal power outage
• How I’m learning to be a better friend to myself

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of who you are lately, this episode is for you. You haven’t lost yourself. You’re becoming.
