The Road to Cozy
#50 - The Importance of Bad Days
Welcome back to another cozy episode!
Todays episode is all about the importance of those bad days that we might want to skip sometimes. But of course they play a big role in our lives and we can honor them with self love and compassion.
(Also now realizing this was not my 50:th episode...it's actually #51. Haha! Well celebration was due anyway!)
I hope you enjoy listening and see you next time! π

50. Take a Break From Everything Once in a While
28:43||Season 1, Ep. 50Sometimes itβs not the big routines or life-changing decisions that shape our well-being β itβs the tiniest acts we do without even thinking.In this episode, I talk about the small habits we so easily take for granted β brushing our teeth, taking a shower, getting dressed for the day. After being sick and letting all of it go for a few days, I was reminded of how deeply these little rituals affect how I feel.When we pause and come back to them, something shifts. Gratitude returns. Presence returns. And suddenly, what once felt ordinary becomes sacred again.Because if something as simple as a shower can change how we feel, imagine the quiet magic of everything else we do β all the small, loving actions we show ourselves, our families, our children, every single day. πβββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββππ½ MORE COZY CONTENT ππ½π Join my Book Club (coming soon!)π§π½ββοΈ Book a Free Coaching Discovery Callπ§ Listen to the Road to Cozy PlaylistHost: @wahlgren.lindaPodcast IG: @theroadtocozyπΆ Music by @tinydays_music β available on Spotify
49. Donβt Drop the Glass Balls
16:29||Season 1, Ep. 49In todayβs episode, I talk about the glass balls and the rubber ones β the things in life we can drop for a while and pick up again, and the ones that truly canβt be replaced.Some things will bounce back β routines, small habits, tasks that can wait. But the glass balls? Those are your relationships, your dreams, your self-trust, your health, your purpose. If you drop them, they can crack. You might be able to glue them together again, but theyβll never be quite the same.I share my reflections on how to recognize your own glass balls and what it means to protect them, even when life feels full. I also talk about the βEat That Frogβ mindset β doing the hard thing first, the one that pushes you forward and out of your comfort zone β and about the power of getting back up one more time than you fall.Because itβs not about never slipping. Itβs about knowing what truly matters, and choosing to keep catching what counts. πβββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββππ½ MORE COZY CONTENT ππ½π Join my Book Club (coming soon!)π§π½ββοΈ Book a Free Coaching Discovery Callπ§ Listen to the Road to Cozy PlaylistHost: @wahlgren.lindaPodcast IG: @theroadtocozyπΆ Music by @tinydays_music β available on Spotify
48. Youβve Come Further Than You Think
20:39||Season 1, Ep. 48In todayβs episode, I talk about the gentle power of looking back β at your day, your week, or even your year β and actually noticing what youβve done.Just like practicing gratitude, reflecting on what youβve already accomplished helps you see that youβre often further along than your mind wants to admit.I share honestly about my own recent moment of disappointment β feeling like I havenβt come as far as I wanted since starting TIR β and how sitting down and looking at everything I have done shifted something inside me.Sometimes weβre so focused on whatβs next that we forget to see what already is.This is a soft reminder to pause, acknowledge, and celebrate the steps youβve already taken. πβββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββππ½ MORE COZY CONTENT ππ½π Join my Book Club (coming soon!)π§π½ββοΈ Book a Free Coaching Discovery Callπ§ Listen to the Road to Cozy PlaylistHost: @wahlgren.lindaPodcast IG: @theroadtocozyπΆ Music by @tinydays_music β available on Spotify
47. Decluttering: Making Space for What Matters
30:04||Season 1, Ep. 47In todayβs episode, Iβm continuing the conversation from last week about finding our way back to focus. This time, Iβm talking about the power of declutteringβnot just our homes, but our minds, our schedules, and our energy.Decluttering is such a simple yet profound way to realign with where weβre headed. When we clear away what no longer belongs, we send a clear signalβto ourselves and to the universeβthat weβre ready to welcome in whatβs next.This is an invitation to pause, release, and create space. To ask: What in my life is truly supporting the version of me I want to become? And what is simply noise?If youβve been feeling scattered, heavy, or unclear, maybe itβs time to let goβ¦ so your focus and energy can return to what really matters.Thank you for being here with me. πβββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββππ½ MORE COZY CONTENT ππ½π Join my Book Club (coming soon!)π§π½ββοΈ Book a Free Coaching Discovery Callπ§ Listen to the Road to Cozy PlaylistHost: @wahlgren.lindaPodcast IG: @theroadtocozyπΆ Music by @tinydays_music β available on Spotify
46. Finding My Way Back to Focus
33:09||Season 1, Ep. 46After five weeks away, Iβm backβand today I want to talk about focus.The last couple of weeks, my focus has felt scattered and unclear. Just before that, I was in such a flow with laser-sharp attentionβ¦ and then it all slipped. In this episode, I share honestly about losing my rhythm, why itβs been hard to return, and how Iβve found my way back.For me, the key has been to step back and reconnect with the feeling of my goal fulfilled. Thatβs where our focus belongsβnot in endless to-doβs or busywork, but in the vision weβre moving toward. From that place, the right tasks come naturally.If youβve ever lost your sense of direction, I hope this reflection helps you soften, reset, and remember where your true focus lives.Thank you for being here with me again. πβββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββππ½ MORE COZY CONTENT ππ½π Join my Book Club (coming soon!)π§π½ββοΈ Book a Free Coaching Discovery Callπ§ Listen to the Road to Cozy PlaylistHost: @wahlgren.lindaPodcast IG: @theroadtocozyπΆ Music by @tinydays_music β available on Spotify
45. Acceptance, Flow, and Honoring Your Decisions
23:35||Season 1, Ep. 45In todayβs episode, Iβm sharing something Iβve been practicing latelyβwhat it means to stop fighting how I feel, and instead move with gentle acceptance.I talk about two moments from my own life: waking up early when I feel so tired, and navigating those parenting moments when my son does something I wish he wouldnβt. In both cases, Iβve learned that resisting my feelings only makes them heavier.The shift comes when I accept exactly where I amβtired, grumpy, sad, unmotivatedβand still honor the decisions Iβve made for the life I want to live. Not by covering it up with fake positivity, but by saying, this is me right nowβ¦ and Iβm still going to do my best.Itβs about making decisions from the version of you youβre becoming, and then meeting the present moment with compassion.Thank you for listening, and for walking this path alongside me. πβββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββππ½ MORE COZY CONTENT ππ½π Join my Book Club (coming soon!)π§π½ββοΈ Book a Free Coaching Discovery Callπ§ Listen to the Road to Cozy PlaylistHost: @wahlgren.lindaPodcast IG: @theroadtocozyπΆ Music by @tinydays_music β available on Spotify
44. Who Gets to Decide? Navigating the Versions of You
26:50||Season 1, Ep. 44In todayβs episode, Iβm exploring something I think so many of us wrestle with:What version of you gets to make decisions?I talk about the inner conflict that happens when one part of us makes an aligned decisionβfrom clarity, vision, or purposeβand then another version wakes up tired, overwhelmed, or doubtfulβ¦ and breaks that decision.Itβs easy to feel like weβre failing ourselves. But what if the real issue is that weβre letting the wrong version of us make the call in that moment?The truth is: there are many versions of you. But only one of them is leading you where you truly want to go. The key is to make decisions from herβand then help all the other versions follow through.This episode is a gentle, honest reflection on self-leadership, identity, and honoring the you that youβre becoming.Thanks for being here with me. πβββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββππ½ MORE COZY CONTENT ππ½π Join my Book Club (coming soon!)π§π½ββοΈ Book a Free Coaching Discovery Callπ§ Listen to the Road to Cozy PlaylistHost: @wahlgren.lindaPodcast IG: @theroadtocozyπΆ Music by @tinydays_music β available on Spotify
43. AI, Meaning, and the Power of Our Tools
36:19||Season 1, Ep. 43In todayβs episode, I dive into something thatβs been on my mind latelyβAI, ChatGPT, and the stories we attach to the tools around us.I use the hand as a metaphor: our hands can create connection, beauty, safetyβ¦ but they can also harm. The hand itself isnβt good or badβitβs how we choose to use it that gives it meaning. I believe the same is true for AI.Thereβs so much fear in the collective right now around artificial intelligence. But what if, instead of fearing it, we started seeing it as a powerful creative partnerβsomething that can help us bring more life, truth, and soul into the world?Because whatever we approach with fear tends to grow in fear. But when we choose intention, presence, and meaningβwe create something entirely different.Thank you for listening. I hope this episode sparks something new in you.See you next time πβββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββππ½ MORE COZY CONTENT ππ½π Join my Book Club (coming soon!)π§π½ββοΈ Book a Free Coaching Discovery Callπ§ Listen to the Road to Cozy PlaylistHost: @wahlgren.lindaPodcast IG: @theroadtocozyπΆ Music by @tinydays_music β available on Spotify
