In this episode of Lost Yet Found, I sit down with my beautiful friend Paula Briones for a deeply honest conversation about what it really means to feel lost — and why maybe we’re never meant to be completely “found.”

Paula shares her journey from Mexico to Canada, the many transitions and moments of uncertainty that shaped who she is today, and how learning to listen to her body helped her navigate some of life’s biggest decisions — including her divorce.

We explore what it means to distinguish between running away from something and moving toward freedom, and how reconnecting with ourselves can help us know the difference.

We talk about:

- Why being lost may actually be part of the journey
- Life as a labyrinth — and how we choose to move through it
- Learning to trust your body, intuition, and inner knowing
- The difference between avoidance and true freedom
- How breathwork helped Paula reconnect with her body and release what she had been holding
- What surrender really means — and why it isn't the same as giving up
- Letting go of expectations and allowing life to lead you
- Why the more connected we are to ourselves, the more free we become
- Finding practices that bring you back to yourself — whether that's breathwork, meditation, movement, writing, or simply being still
- And perhaps most importantly: why you might be lost for a reason.

One of my favourite things Paula shared was:

“You’re lost for a reason. You’re lost because life is taking you somewhere else.”

Maybe you don't need to have the answer right now.

Maybe you don't need to know exactly where you're going.

Maybe this part of the labyrinth is here to teach you something, reveal something, or lead you somewhere you couldn't have found otherwise.

And maybe you can even… have a little fun while you're lost.
