When Does It Finally Get Good?

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, ‘When does it finally get good?’ Like you’re just waiting for the relationship, the job, the money, or the next big thing before life can actually start? If that’s you, today I’m going to show you how to stop treating your life like a waiting room.

So many of us secretly believe: “I’ll be happy when…”
When I meet my person.
When I hit that career milestone.
When I feel more secure.

But here’s the truth: if life feels like a waiting room now, it will probably still feel like a waiting room when you “arrive.”
Because the habit of postponing joy doesn’t disappear on its own—it follows you.

Learning how to live fully in the in-between seasons is what actually makes life feel good.

Let’s talk about the 3 most common mistakes people make when life feels like a waiting room:

1. They keep checking the door.
   Constantly scanning for the thing that will make it better—love, success, validation. That obsession creates more anxiety, not more peace.

2. They compare their timeline to everyone else’s.
   Scrolling through someone else’s highlight reel just reinforces the belief that you’re behind.

3. They abandon the present moment.
   They stop noticing the small, everyday joys—so the waiting feels even longer.

Here’s the shift I want you to take with you:
Life is not a waiting room.
You don’t have to wait for things to change to feel alive, connected, or fulfilled.

So here are 3 ways to step out of waiting and into living:

1. Find your anchors. Choose one small daily ritual that brings you back into your body—like breath, movement, or gratitude.

2. Celebrate micro-moments. Notice the little things that already feel good right now.

3. Flip the question. Instead of asking “When will it get good?” ask “How can I make this moment good?”

That’s how you start creating a life that feels worth living—even before the “big” things arrive.

If this resonated with you, I want you to know—you don’t have to navigate this alone.

I help women who feel like they’re stuck in a waiting room build lives that feel rich and meaningful right now—using evidence-based tools like IFS, somatic therapy, and nervous system regulation.
