Outro

In last week's episode, I talked about something I call the hope wound: that quiet erosion of belief that happens after you've tried for something again and again without seeing the result you wanted. And when that wound happens, effort starts to feel pointless. Trying starts to feel exhausting. In this episode, I'm going deeper into that conversation and exploring the relationship between hope and effort. Because the truth is, we don't quit their dreams because we're lazy! We tend to quit because we start to believe our effort won't matter... because we've tried so much for so long.

I share a powerful story and a new way to think about trying that completely shifted my perspective: the idea that breakthroughs rarely follow a logical timeline, and that sometimes the moment everything changes comes right after the moment you're most ready to give up. If you've been feeling discouraged, tired of trying, or quietly wondering whether the thing you want will ever work out, this episode is an invitation to reclaim hope......and maybe cast the net one more time.

WHICH, BTW, is Dreamaway's March 2026 theme.

90 MIN SESSION: THE HOPE WOUND: Clearing Disappointment & Abandonment | Saturday, March 21st, 1-2:30pm ET

There's a specific kind of heartbreak that doesn't just hurt… it changes how you hope. When you've experienced abandonment, betrayal, rejection, or long seasons of disappointment, your nervous system quietly learns: "Don't get too excited." "Don't expect too much." "Protect yourself from believing or opening your heart again."

That's the Hope Wound. It's the place where your heart still wants something deeply… but your body braces for loss.

In this 90-minute deep-dive, we'll gently uncover how abandonment experiences (loss of a dream, abandonment by another, a core rejection) have reshaped your relationship to hope. We'll dissolve the pattern of dimming your desire to avoid pain and rewire the subconscious belief that expecting good things makes you naive or unsafe. This session is about becoming brave enough to believe again. Because hope deferred makes a heart sick - and it's safe to get our hopes up and believe the best of the future again.
