This. Life. Now. podcast, hosted by Madeleine Rose Olson, is all about life in our 20s and 30s.

This is the last lyrical episode of Season 2. Some chapters in our lives remain unread and the endings still unseen. And yet, sometimes we encounter moments when everything falls into place when we most need it to. Why is that? This is the one where we talk about unfinished chapters and divine timing.
We often stay stuck in situations that no longer serve us, even when our hearts are begging for change. Why do we do this, and why does our subconscious resist change?

Why do we feel alone in relationships? This episode is for when you feel abandoned in love. Such a counterintuitive, yet raw and honest, topic that I have yet to hear someone talk about. In this episode I leave you with two love letters for you to listen to on your own healing journey.
Making friends as young adults can be hard! No one prepares us for the reality of making and maintaining meaningful friendships as we get older and our pathways diverge.

This episode is for those who are recovering from the habit of people pleasing. People Pleasing is so much larger than just ‘caring what people think.’ In the episode I unpack the psychology behind both the healing and unlearning of this survival strategy and how we can show up to feel safe in the world.
