Episode 679 of It's Bizzy
How much of your life have you spent worrying about things that worked out anyway?
Today is my 58th birthday. A year ago, on my 57th, I was crying, scared, and angry because nothing looked like the picture in my head. One year later, I'm calmer than I've ever been. What changed? I stopped trying to direct the movie and started writing my plans in pencil, not pen.
In this birthday episode, I finally answer the question I ask every guest: what do I wish I knew at 25?
We also talk about:
• Why feelings aren't facts, and how to stop reacting to every one of them
• How to let go of control when life doesn't look the way you pictured
• Why pain is the touchstone to freedom
• People who come into your life for a season and leave for a reason
• My morning ritual: feet in the ocean, the sunrise, a Psalm, and a prayer
• Why gratitude is the best attitude and comparison is the thief of joy
I also share what happened when the club we planned to go dancing at for my birthday was closed, and how that tiny moment taught me a big lesson about rolling with life.

🎁 The best birthday gift you could give me is to share this episode with a friend or leave a review. 💛
Coming Thursday: my lifelong friend from St. Louis, Michael Goessling, who just discovered that Michael McDonald is his biological father.
If you're going through a major life transition, starting over, redefining yourself, dealing with family changes, or wondering who you are becoming in this next chapter, this episode is for you.
Sometimes life gets lifey. Sometimes all we can do is take it one moment at a time, let go of what we cannot control, and trust that God has us.
