There’s a phrase that echoes in my life, especially when things don’t go the way I planned:
“Trust the process.”
It became a mantra for me, but it started much earlier.
Growing up, my mother used to say,
“Your destiny is best seen from the rearview mirror.”
At the time, I thought she meant I should keep looking back.
But over the years—and especially in these last few—I’ve realized what she meant:
It’s only when we look back that we can finally see how the twists and turns, even the so-called wrong turns, were guiding us.
And if we can trust that, maybe we can learn to trust the now.
Even when it’s messy.
Even when we’re waiting.
Even when we don’t understand.
This song, Trust the Process, poured out of me in one of those moments.
When my Type-A, “make it happen” self was exhausted.
When I needed to surrender to something bigger.
Not bypassing.
Not “love and light.”
Just letting go.
Just… breathing.
Just… trusting.
So here’s the song.
For you.
For us.
If you’re navigating one of those in-between moments…
may it remind you that you’re not lost.
You’re just being guided on a new route.
I’d love to hear if it resonates.
Have you ever had a moment where hindsight showed you the perfection in the detour?
Share it with me in the comments.
With love,
