This Camping Trip Made Me Realize I’m Not Falling Behind

Sometimes it feels like we’re all running a race we never signed up for… trying to stay ahead, keep up, and prove we’re not falling behind.

But what if being “behind” isn’t failure… but freedom?

This video is Part Two of our beach camping trip. Where I slow down, make pancakes and polenta, brave a little rain, and remember what real success feels like: quiet moments, laughter, and time with the people (and dog) I love.

My husband usually doesn’t join me camping, so this trip was extra special. And Mako, my sweet pup, finally found the courage to run into the ocean again.

If you’ve ever felt like life is passing you by, or like you’re always chasing the next thing… I hope this video reminds you that life is happening right now.

If you enjoy quiet, intentional living, I write a newsletter called Untroubled.
It’s where I share more of this kind of thing: essays, gentle reminders, behind-the-scenes, and creative reflections.
