When life feels like it’s happening all at once, how do you stay grounded? In this episode, I reflect on navigating the joyful chaos of publishing my memoir, buying my first home at nearly eighty, and learning that asking for help is often the greatest strength of all. Inspired by a beautiful quote from Alexander Chee, I explore what it means to trust the process, surrender control, and believe that even life’s busiest seasons can bring unexpected grace. Sometimes the best thing we can do is stop fighting the chaos, wait for the rain, and watch something beautiful begin to grow.

This is brilliant Akasha…..and so timely for me too. Thank you!
What exciting news, Akasha!! You’re the only person I know who would enter into the adventure of buying a new house and moving at your 80th birthday–a time when most of us are selling our house, downsizing, and figuring out how to surround ourselves with old-age-type help. Congratulations! You are so brave and full of wonder. I hope this move will be filled with joy and the thrill of accomplishment. P.S. I’ll need your new address ASAP as it’s almost time for a birthday greeting to come your way. Much love to you always. Marti
