I used to think I had to achieve grand things.

I used to think I had to achieve grand things to be worthy of a beautiful life.⁠
⁠
I thought I could only be happy when I got all A*s. When I got into Oxford University. When my YouTube channel hit 100k subscribers. 250k subscribers. 500k subscribers.⁠
⁠
But the beauty of life is everywhere. It’s not in milestones.⁠
It’s in every day.⁠
In the tiny conversations you have with a stranger. In the way the light folds itself through the foliage on a sunny day. In a cup of your favourite herbal tea on a sad evening. In the unexpected little wins.⁠
⁠
THIS is what makes life worth living. And it took me a whole lot of rejection, perfectionism, mental health struggle and conversations with new people to teach me that.⁠
⁠
I’m so honoured to say that my episode of Meditative Story is officially out today! I’ve been working on this podcast ep since October!!⁠ You can listen here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/finding-magic-in-the-quiet-moments-by-jade-bowler/id1472106563?i=1000596707429
⁠
Meditative Story combines immersive storytelling, mindfulness moments and a rich narrative to provide inspiring insights into others’ lives. It’s literally like NOTHING i’ve ever experienced before in a podcast and it’s SO well done!!!! I can’t believeeeee they told my story.⁠
⁠
Honestly... I’m so scared to share it 🥹 I talked about my journey finding casual magic in the lil things. But I also explored some of the most vulnerable moments of my life that I’ve never shared online.⁠
⁠
Give it a listen, i hope it changes your day.
⁠
Sending you hugs from afar!! I’m so so grateful that you guys give me the opportunity + safe space to share my stories with the world. Thank you for making this the best corner of the internet!! Lemme know your thoughts on the ep x
