22 - Perfectly Unfolding: Trusting Your Heart When Life Doesn't Go as Planned

What if you stopped trying to figure out exactly how your life is supposed to look and started trusting what your heart is telling you? My conversation with Kristy Halvorsen took us everywhere from living in an Airstream for 9 years, and letting go of labels to learning how to cry, caring for her mom, and discovering that sometimes the hardest decisions are already decided for you if you listen to your heart.  We talk about following those little nudges, which she calls “tickles of the soul”, releasing expectations, and trusting that life can unfold in ways we never imagined. Our conversation and her book, Perfectly Unfolding are beautiful reminders that we don't have to have it all figured out to take the next step. About Kristy, and where to get her book If "normal" is a way of being, Kristy Halvorsen is not that. In 2017, she sold everything, left her firefighting career, and hit the road in her Airstream trailer. For nearly nine years, she has migrated with the seasons, often with no idea where she's headed next. In addition to being a nomadic world traveler, she is a mentor, coach, and bestselling author of Perfect Unfolding: Seven Years of Life-Changing Solo Adventure, One Year That Broke Me Open, a vulnerable, deeply human account of what’s possible when you live in curiosity and wonder, embrace the unknown, and trust life while waking up to the simplicity and freedom available to us all.  Website: PerfectUnfolding.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristy.halvorsen/ LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/kristy-halvorsen/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/1kristy Goodreads: www.goodreads.com/book/show/241413488-perfect-unfoldingAbout the Podcast Evolving Together is a space for candid conversations about all the messy things happening in midlife — relationships, identity shifts, parenting, grief, health, purpose, reinvention, and everything in between.Together, we learn, laugh, cry, question things, and evolve with zero judgment.
