Episode 28: Transitions:
The Goo Phase
Transitions are rarely graceful while they’re happening.
They often begin with clarity… and then immediately move into uncertainty, discomfort, waiting, and the strange in-between space where your old identity no longer fits but the new version of you has not fully stabilized yet.
In this episode of Don’t Trip On Your Cape, we explore:
-
The “goo phase” of transformation
-
Liminal spaces and identity shifts
-
Trusting yourself before external proof appears
-
Transition as an emotional and nervous system experience
-
Uncertainty and becoming
-
Discomfort as feedback
-
And learning how to move through change without abandoning yourself in the process
This conversation felt deeply honest, deeply human, and unexpectedly hopeful.
Because transitions are not proof that life is falling apart.
Sometimes they are proof that life is finally changing.
Episode 27: Persistence:
The Practice of Becoming
What does persistence actually look like when life feels messy, uncertain, or overwhelming?
In this Q&A episode of Don’t Trip On Your Cape, we explore the difference between forcing and flowing, discipline and punishment, rest and avoidance, and why becoming yourself is often a practice… not a breakthrough moment.
From nervous system healing to forgiveness, transitions, grace, and even cup holders, this conversation is a reminder that growth doesn’t have to come through constant self-pressure.
Sometimes persistence looks like learning how to move with yourself instead of against yourself.
Episode 26: Persistence:
What Gets in the Way Becomes the Way
What happens when life keeps changing faster than you can emotionally process it?
In this episode of Don’t Trip On Your Cape, Mythica Blessyng joins us for a raw and deeply human conversation about grief, heartbreak, nervous system survival, awareness, and persistence in the middle of overwhelming life transitions.
We talk about near-death experiences, emotional regulation, gratitude, rebuilding after loss, and the difference between reacting to life versus staying present enough to move through it consciously.
This episode is not about pretending everything happens for a reason.
It’s about learning how to keep going without abandoning yourself in the process.
