Maybe You Are What Needs Fixing: A Self-Reflection Journey

—

What if the mess wasn’t out there, but in here—beneath the noise, beneath the blame, beneath the roles we play to avoid sitting with ourselves?

For a long time, I thought if I could just fix the circumstances—the job, the relationship, the way he showed up—then I’d feel better. I’d be happy. I’d be enough. But the deeper truth? I was avoiding the one thing that truly needed my attention: me.

In this episode, I tell the truth I used to avoid: that I filled my days, my marriage, my schedule—just to stay too busy to feel. I held onto someone else’s patterns because they distracted me from facing my own. I kept thinking, “If he would just change…” But when I finally got quiet, I realized the only one I ever had the power to change was myself.

This is the story of what happens when we stop trying to fix everything around us and start getting honest about what’s hurting within us. It’s not about blame—it’s about freedom. Because healing doesn’t come from control. It comes from courage.

If you’ve ever looked around and wondered, “Why isn’t this working?”—maybe the invitation isn’t to try harder. Maybe it’s to look in the mirror and ask, “What part of me have I been avoiding?”

This one’s raw. It’s real. It’s the work.
And I promise—it’s worth it.

If you’re ready to stop being stuck and start getting real about what’s really going on, I have a podcast episode for you.

● About Me

I’m Heather Dyan Morgan, a writer, speaker, and podcast host who left behind everything I knew to start over from scratch.
Literally the definition of wandering the wild mess.

Born and raised in Utah (yes, I grew up Mormon), I walked away from the only life I had ever known—including a good man who simply wasn’t meant for me, and moved to Tennessee with no friends, no family, and no place to call home. I had spent over a decade climbing the corporate ladder, and one day I simply told my boss: “I’m moving. Keep me or don’t.”

A little wild? Maybe. But I’ve always felt like a caged bird waiting to be free.
And once I finally jumped, there was no turning back.

Those early months, bouncing between Airbnbs, navigating heartbreak, identity shifts, and deep solitude, were more than a leap. They were a rebirth.
And somehow, they became the beginning of everything.

Now I share my journey through my podcast (Wandering the Wild Mess), I’m working on an aligned project of digital healing guides, and continue to pour into the written word—because storytelling has always been my way of making sense of the chaos and helping others feel less alone in theirs.

I’ve been writing since I could hold a pencil and asking deep questions since I could form a sentence. I’m endlessly curious about the human experience—how we think, feel, and move through this world. I believe we don’t fail; we just evolve.

I’m here to remind you that it’s okay not to have it all figured out. You’re allowed to grow, grieve, start over, and still be wildly worthy of love and joy.

I enjoy deep conversations, acoustic music, mountain views, and campfire moments that make you feel something. And I believe that if you’re reading this, you’re here for a reason.

Thanks for being part of my wild mess. Let’s wander it together.

And in case no one told you today—you matter
