Are You Still There? | Episode #1

Something New Is Starting I have been writing From Fine to Free for a while now. Essays. Notes. Reflections on what it looks like to stop performing your life and start actually living it. And somewhere along the way, people started writing back. Not just to say they liked it. But to say they recognized themselves in it. That they had been feeling the same thing for years. That they did not have a name for it until they read it here. So I started thinking about what it would mean to take this conversation somewhere deeper. Somewhere you could hear it, not just read it. That is what this is. From Fine to Free is now a podcast. A weekly show for people living in the crossing. The space between the life you have built and the life you actually want. Between fine and free. Each episode is a coaching conversation in audio form. No guests. No panels. Just you and me, working through the real stuff. This week’s first episode is called Are You Still There? It is for the person who is still showing up, still delivering, still being who everyone needs them to be — but who woke up one morning and felt nothing. Not sadness. Not crisis. Just flat. Just gone from their own life. If that sentence landed somewhere in you, this episode is for you. Listen above. Subscribe so you do not miss what comes next. And if someone in your life needs to hear this, send it to them. The crossing is better with company. From Fine to Free is written and hosted by Patrick LaRose — nurse, coach, occasional van dweller.
