When Life is “Life-ing”: Navigating Chaos Without Losing Yourself

Molly Smith & Lena Khais Season 1 Episode 5

Sometimes life throws a curveball you didn’t see coming—sickness, emergencies, total derailment of your plans—and suddenly you're in a full-on pause. In this episode, Molly and Lena get vulnerable about the kind of weeks that test your nervous system and force you to reassess everything.

From unexpected illness to family medical crises, they share what it’s like to show up in the mess, let go of control, and honor your human limits without giving up on your vision. If you’re in a season where nothing is going according to plan, this conversation is your permission slip to breathe, rest, and reconnect with what really matters.

🎙️ You’ll hear:

  • What energetic burnout can teach you
  • The mindset shift from “doing” to “being”
  • Business continuity (when you’re the business!)
  • How to hold the vision when life is upside down

Whether you’re powering through or laying flat—this episode reminds you: you don’t have to have it all figured out to take your next best step.
