Interrupted: When Life Doesn't Ask Permission

About this episode

This episode explores the challenges of unexpected responsibilities and personal growth through the lens of 'Mother Bruce'.

What happens when your life is interrupted by responsibilities you didn’t ask for? In this episode, we explore Mother Bruce and the tension of being needed before you feel ready. This conversation looks at: why resistance often reveals more about us than the situation how our expectations shape frustration and what it means to grow into roles we never would have chosen Not everything that happens is good—but nothing has to be wasted.
