Text us!! We wanna hear what you thought of this episode!

All good things evolve, transform, and sometimes reach their beautiful completion. After nearly two years of sharing our journeys of self-discovery, Katie and I are closing this chapter of the It Gets To Be Easy podcast with gratitude and reflection.

Our final conversation explores the recurring themes that shaped our podcast journey—from redefining success on our own terms to navigating contrast as a pathway to growth. We dive deep into how surrender became an essential part of our path of least resistance and how challenging societal definitions of achievement liberated us to create more aligned lives. The hustle mentality that once drove us both gave way to a richer understanding of rest and intentional living that forever changed our relationship with productivity.

This episode offers a vulnerable look at our own process of letting go. We share how ego showed up for each of us when deciding to complete this project—Katie confronting thoughts of "quitting" while I worried about disappointing listeners. These shadow patterns revealed deeper wound responses that required gentle acknowledgment before we could fully honor this completion. Our hope is that by modeling this process, you might recognize similar patterns in your life transitions.

The podcast remains as what one friend beautifully called a "time capsule"—preserved wisdom you can revisit whenever specific guidance calls to you. Whether you're working to create your own reality, shift away from hustle culture, choose more joy, or shed outdated patterns, these conversations stand ready to mirror back your own inner knowing. Because ultimately, that's what we've always believed: your highest self is your true guidance. Your voice matters. Your joy is sacred. And your evolution can always be gentle.

Thank you for walking this path with us. We're not truly saying goodbye—just carrying these lessons forward in new ways, as we trust you will too. Remember, it always gets to be easy when you let it.
