In this episode of Making My Way South, Jeremy and Ryan talk about something that still carries a lot of stigma for many people. Therapy.

For a long time, therapy has been misunderstood as something you only turn to when something is “wrong.” In reality, it can be one of the most powerful tools for understanding yourself, processing life’s challenges, and learning how to move forward with intention.

Jeremy and Ryan share their personal experiences with therapy, how their perspectives on it have changed over time, and why they believe it should be seen as a normal and healthy part of personal growth.

They also talk about the anxieties that come with major life changes. Moving somewhere new, changing careers, starting over, or simply stepping outside your comfort zone can bring excitement, but they can also bring fear, uncertainty, and self-doubt.

During this conversation they explore how anxiety can sometimes hold us back, how it can sometimes protect us, and how learning to work through those emotions can be an important step toward building the life you want.

As always, the episode ends with Pit and Peak of the Week, where Jeremy and Ryan share some of the highs and lows happening in their lives right now.

If you have ever struggled with anxiety, considered therapy, or felt nervous about making a big change in your life, this episode is for you.

We’re back from our trip to New Mexico, and this one comes with some honest reflections.

In this episode of Making My Way South, we break down our road trip to Las Cruces. From flat tires and Valentine’s dinner in Tulsa to hiking the Organ Mountains and getting up close with giraffes. We share what surprised us, what we loved, and the clarity we didn’t expect to find.

We also recap our time in Albuquerque, including exploring Nob Hill, Old Town, and extending our stay after realizing the city gave us a very different feeling.

This wasn’t just a vacation. It was a real step forward in our journey and maybe even a pivot.

Follow along as we continue figuring out what “South” really means for us.

This week on Making My Way South, we’re getting honest about timelines and what it feels like when life doesn’t move as fast as you hoped it would. What happens when you picture where you’ll be in a year and reality looks different? We talk about expectations, patience, and learning to recognize progress even when it doesn’t look the way you imagined.

This episode also marks a turning point in our journey. We share something we’ve been building behind the scenes, a big step forward that reflects where this podcast is heading and the kind of community we want to grow alongside you.

We’re also gearing up for our upcoming road trip to Las Cruces and what this next step means for the bigger picture we’ve been working toward.

As always, we close with our pit and peak of the week, the real highs and lows that come with rebuilding, dreaming, and figuring it out as we go.
