Break the Cycle: Why It’s Time to Get Off the Merry-Go-Round

Life can feel like a ride—sometimes a thrilling roller coaster, other times a dizzying merry-go-round. Have you ever felt like you're stuck in an endless loop, putting in effort but going nowhere? In this episode, I explore the difference between these two experiences and how they mirror our lives. The merry-go-round may feel familiar, but it often leaves us exhausted, holding on for dear life, and unsure how to stop. Meanwhile, the rollercoaster requires trust, commitment, and a willingness to embrace the ups and downs—but it takes you somewhere.

Are you stuck in a cycle that’s making you feel out of control? Or have you chosen the ride that challenges you, excites you, and helps you grow? Sometimes, getting off the merry-go-round means asking for help, setting boundaries, or making a bold change. Let’s reflect on what ride you’re on and whether it’s time to shift gears. Join me for my first walk and talk episode, where I enjoyed sharing nature and thoughts to ponder.
