This week's reflection from Cody explores Emily Pearl Kingsley’s parable “Welcome to Holland” alongside Rachel’s real-life story: a young woman whose plans for a big-city life and long career are interrupted by cancer. It traces her grief, adjustment, and the ways she reframes her life.

Through Rachel’s experience, this week's episode reflects on choosing how to live when plans change—acknowledging loss, discovering unexpected joys, and finding meaning in a life that turned out different than you might have imagined.
