Finding Your Way: A Journey Through the Wilderness of Life

A Story for the Woman Who’s Done Everything Right and Still Feels Lost

She stood in her kitchen, wearing slippers and sweats. The soft hum of a life she built surrounded her.

There was coffee in her mug. Clean dishes sat in the rack. She had a job she excelled at, grown kids doing well, and a full calendar.

On paper, she seemed solid. Grateful. Lucky, even.

But inside, something had shifted.

It was subtle at first. A tug. A whisper. A low ache beneath the surface.

She found herself staring out the window longer than usual. She wondered where her joy had gone.

Thoughts raced through her mind:

“I don’t even know what I want anymore.”

“I should be happier.”

“I’ve been so busy surviving, I don’t think I’ve ever really asked what I need.”

No one would call it a crisis. But something inside her knew the truth:

She was in the wilderness.

Not the dramatic, fall-apart kind of wilderness. But the quiet, soul-aching kind. The kind where the old map she was using no longer fits her life. The daily paths are deeply rutted. It's time for a new trail into fresh territory, if she's brave enough to wander there.

And the scariest part?

There was no clear trail forward. She needed to carve out this trail in the wilderness herself.

The Wilderness is Where Your New Life Begins

If this feels familiar, know this: you’re not broken. You’re awakening.

This moment—this in-between space—is sacred. It means something in you is ready to shift. To reorient. To come home to yourself.

This is where many of my clients begin:

Smart, strong women who have lived full lives, followed the rules, and are now ready to stop living by the outdated map they've been using.

They want meaning, not a life that operates on autopilot.

They want to feel alive, not just productive.

They want a version of themselves that feels true and authentic, not just the responsible, capable, or reliable old self.

You Don’t Have to Navigate Alone

This is exactly why I created My Best Life Basecamp community and offer private coaching.

Carving a new trail through the wilderness can be scary and hard. It also requires skills that most of us have not learned before reaching this point.

You deserve space to pause and collect yourself. You need the proper tools for forging a new trail. Support from those doing the same thing in their lives. Guidance from those who walked the path and know the wilderness.

Inside My Best Life Basecamp, we build life navigation skills rooted in mindfulness, positive psychology, and inner alignment. This way, you can walk your own path with confidence and clarity.

This is not a self-help sprint. It’s a gentle unfolding that takes time. You can be sure you are walking your own trail and not someone else's.

A coming home.

Your Life Isn’t Over. It’s Asking You to Begin Again.

If your map has stopped working, it doesn’t mean you’ve failed or that something has gone wrong. It simply means that the old life map that got you this far is not equipped to take you further.

It's time for a new map into a new wilderness. It's time to follow your inner compass.

And that? That’s where the real journey begins.

Embracing Change: The Path Ahead

Change can be daunting. Yet, it is also an opportunity for growth. Embracing change means opening yourself up to new experiences. It means allowing yourself to feel vulnerable, yet hopeful.

You might find that the wilderness is not just a place of uncertainty. It can also be a space for discovery. Here, you can explore your passions and desires. You can reconnect with what truly matters to you.

The Importance of Community

As you navigate this new terrain, remember the importance of community. Surround yourself with those who understand your journey. They can offer support, encouragement, and shared experiences.

In My Best Life Basecamp, you will find a community of like-minded individuals. They are on similar paths, seeking to carve their own trails. Together, you can share insights and celebrate each other's victories.

Tools for Your Journey

To successfully navigate the wilderness, you need the right tools. These tools will help you build resilience and clarity. Here are a few essential ones:

1. Mindfulness Practice: This helps you stay present and aware of your feelings.
