    5-MINUTE FRIDAY: Surrendering To The Process May Not Be Easy — But It's Essential

    5-MINUTE FRIDAY: Surrendering To The Process May Not Be Easy — But It's Essential

    March 13, 2026
    12m

    Today I’m getting real about a lesson I’ve been learning the hard way lately: you don't always know what you need until you need it. I dive into the vulnerability of my current journey with egg freezing, the mental weight of the unknown, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is simply surrender to the process.

    I also answer a listener question from Avery about a struggle many of us share—sleep anxiety. I break down my non-negotiable "3-2-1 Rule" for better rest, the physiological benefits of a cool, dark room, and exactly what I do when I find myself wide awake at 3:00 a.m.
