💛 100 Episodes of Flying Upstream—We Couldn't Have Done It Without You


Hi Reader,

🌊The Current Flowing

This week on Flying Upstream, we’re taking a moment to reflect — not just on how far we’ve come, but on the stories that got us here.

We recently crossed the 100-episode mark (🎉), and instead of spotlighting a single milestone, we’re honoring the voices that have made this journey unforgettable. From heartbreak to healing, from trauma to transformation, these guests have reminded us again and again that your story is your strength.

Whether you're seeking purpose, navigating a pivot, or learning to trust your voice, this special edition is a tribute to the many paths that lead us home to ourselves.

To our incredible listeners: thank you. Your presence, your courage, and your commitment to rising through challenge and choosing growth have shaped this community into something truly special. Every download, every share, every message — it all matters. We couldn’t have done this without you. You’re the heart of this movement.

💫 If you’re craving a reminder that your voice matters, you won’t want to miss this one.

✨ Insights from the Source

As we reflect on over 100 powerful episodes, one thing is clear:

đź’ˇ Healing, purpose, and creative expression are at the heart of every transformation.

This week's spotlight on storytelling reminds us that writing can be a sacred tool, not just for self-expression, but for self-reclamation.

Each of the guests we’re revisiting this week has demonstrated how vulnerability can become strength and how sharing your truth is often the first step toward healing and alignment.

Whether through pen, voice, or vision, your story is not only valid; it’s vital.
