when you feel like giving up (don't)

What if giving up feels like the only option left—but you still have one move you haven't tried? In this episode of Get In, You're Driving, we explore what to do when life gets unbearably hard, how suffering doesn't erase meaning, and the small, courageous steps that keep you in the driver's seat even when the road feels impossible.

We've all been there: stuck in grief, exhausted by pain, wondering if hope is just naive. I share why hope isn't about denying reality—it's about finding the next right action when everything else feels heavy. Plus, practical tools to survive the hardest seasons without losing yourself.
