What if the feeling of “this doesn’t fit anymore” isn’t a problem to solve—but a signal to listen to? In this episode of Let’s Fly, Karen Dendy Smith joins me to unpack what really happens when your work, relationships, or identity start to feel misaligned—and why you’re not wrong for outgrowing what once worked.
Drawing on her journey from co-founding a successful marketing and branding firm to becoming a full-time animal communicator and soul-level intuitive coach, Karen shares the messy middle of change: the inner beliefs that keep us small, the fear of being seen as “the bad person,” and the moment life starts to repel what no longer matches who you’re becoming.
And we talk about the turning point that changed everything—the loss of her beloved cat, Hockey Puck, an “awakening animal” whose impact didn’t just break her open…it redirected her path.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
If you’ve been doing everything “right” but still feel off…this conversation will help you name what’s real, trust what’s changing, and choose what’s next—without abandoning yourself in the process.
