In this episode, I'm reflecting on the storms—literal and metaphorical—that hit Asheville, and how they are shaping both me and my community. There's no sugarcoating it: resilience and courage aren’t about being invincible. They're about finding the strength to carry on, even when uncertainty clouds every step. And in this uncertainty, I’ve learned that trust doesn’t come easily. It’s built slowly, through vulnerability, reflection, and sometimes painful realizations about what truly matters. It’s okay not to have it all figured out. I sure don’t. But that’s where the beauty of growth comes in—messy, uncertain, and full of possibility. What's next? I'm not sure but thank you for being here with me.
