“I was driving today to my millionth apartment tour, feeling so lost (early 20s) because I have all these upcoming decisions to make and this year has already been riddled with mistakes of of my own fault, leaving me feeling like I can’t trust myself and like I shouldn’t be in charge of these decisions.
I found Rowena’s YouTube video on feeling lost. Suddenly things felt lighter. My breathing slowed down. I felt heard, represented, hopeful, and like I was hearing the words I’ve always wished someone would tell me but unfortunately even if they had, I’d never had been receptive enough to hear them. (Fast forward through canceling another tour after realizing it was in budget for the wrong reasons.) I found your podcast. THIS podcast. I’ve been binge-listening all morning and have been so inspired by your stories of self-acceptance and discovery that I physically feel parts of me starting to let go of the unrealistic amounts of criticism and judgement I put on myself. I feel so identified that my eyes brim with tears at the thought that I’m not alone in my way of thinking. But I could sit here for hours and describe the ways your stories and your purpose have started turning gears in my head. I won’t bore you with that though. I just wanted to say I’m filled with gratitude that you guys exist, and hoping you keep this podcast going forever. Your voices are so soothing and real, humble, down-to-earth, informed, emotionally intelligent and even though it’s a one way dialogue from you to my ears, it feels like one of the safest spaces I’ve ever had the opportunity to be in. Thank you for being so driven and putting this out there. It can’t be easy but it’s truly appreciated.”
