Allowing Life's Shortcuts

What if allowing life to be easier isn’t a mistake — but a sign you’re finally aligned? Many of us were taught that growth has to be hard, that struggle equals progress, and that choosing the easy path somehow means we’re doing it wrong. But what if that belief is outdated?

In this episode of Catching Sunshine, we explore what it really means to allow life to be easier — without cutting corners or bypassing growth. Sometimes the hardest thing isn’t pushing forward… it’s letting go of the belief that everything has to be a fight.

If you’ve been asking yourself “Why does everything feel so hard?” or wondering whether it’s okay to choose a gentler path, this episode offers a powerful reframe. Ease doesn’t mean you’re avoiding the lesson. Often, it means you’ve already learned it.
