Some mornings you wake up feeling like you're on another level of alive. Some mornings the ceiling feels low. Often both happen before lunch.

This episode isn't a sad one. It's a disorienting one, because the fear and the euphoria aren't taking turns...they're simultaneous. That's the vertigo. And it turns out the vertigo is where the interesting stuff lives.

Episode five is about what it actually feels like to be at the beginning of something real. The specific joys that have surprised you. The pattern you've noticed between belief and fear. The people who've gone quiet, and the ones who show up differently than you expected. The grief that's still there...just not the loudest thing anymore.

Everything at once. Mid-air.

I want to hear from you. The highs and the lows and the bizarre thing that made you inexplicably happy this week. Find me on Instagram @shejumpedanyway or send an email to shejumpedanyway@gmail.com. With your permission, I'd love to bring your voice into this show. Because this was never meant to be just my story. And this podcast was never meant to be just mine...I made it for you.
