So... I got a tattoo. In a foreign country. On what looked like a whim.

But (spoiler) this episode is about much more than ink.

It’s about what happens when you hit a stretch of life that feels like one transition too many — and how to reclaim your role as the chooser of your own life, even when you can’t control everything happening in it.

Here’s where we go:

• The story behind my “impulse” tattoo and what it taught me about resistance, ownership, and presence

• 3 ways to rethink what it means to “choose” your life — even when parts of it are messy or not what you expected

• How to spot when you’re living out old goals... and how to start deciding on purpose again

This one’s for you if you’re in a season that’s left you feeling detached, foggy, or like your current life is running on decisions Past You made.

You don’t have to climb a mountain to get clarity — I already did that for us.
