“How am I doing?”—you asked, and here’s Part 2 of my answer.

In this episode, I open up about falling off the wagon after visiting my parents in Florida, who were facing health struggles. It shook me, and I’m permitting myself to be real about that. But I’ve also found peace with where I’m at—and joy in the messiness of getting back up.

This is for anyone who’s been carrying heaviness, trying to do their best, and still showing up for the people who believe in them. I see you. I am you.

You asked, “How are you doing?” And I’m answering… with a little ramble, a lot of honesty, and maybe a few mentions of ravens, train whistles, and the wild joy of wind through the trees.

In this first part of a two-part heart-to-heart, I’m reflecting on what it means to hold onto beauty and presence in an uncertain world.

Between the doomscrolling and the headlines, there are still moments of peace, connection, and unexpected delight—and I’m sharing the ones I’m clinging to.

If you’ve been stuck between hope and heaviness, sit with me for a bit. It’s okay to be soft right now. It’s OK to feel it all.

And if this lands with you, I’d love to work with you one-on-one. My Spring Special is still on! Book a 30-minute session for half off during April and May: https://stan.store/the_sarah_valentine
