    • From Crisis to Calling
    At 37, Terry faced a health scare, panic attacks, and burnout at 210 lbs — a breaking point that sparked a complete life pivot from software executive to wellness leader.

    • Perimenopause & Powerlifting
    After failing diets and frustration, Terry rebuilt her body and nervous system through macro nutrition, resistance training, and eliminating alcohol — discovering strength in midlife.

    What happens when you stop forcing a path and start listening to what's quietly calling you?

    In this episode, artist Janet Howard-Fatta shares how her creative work evolved when she allowed herself to follow curiosity instead of certainty. We talk about creating in real time, trusting your inner nudges, and how presence can turn ordinary moments into something lasting.

    This conversation is for anyone who's in a season of change, questioning their direction, or wondering if it's okay to let things unfold a little messier than planned.

    Come listen if you need permission to slow down, reconnect, and remember that sometimes the most meaningful paths aren't the straight ones — they're the ones that feel true.
