EPI 75 - How to Stay Present When Life Gets Hard

Hey friend, welcome back to The Habit Within! I'm Camille Kinzler, and if you’ve ever found yourself trying to hold it all together while everything feels untethered… this episode is for you.

We’re continuing the Summer Mini Series with two powerful, grounded women — Wendy McCallum and Jeneth Blackert — both of whom offer real, heartfelt tools for staying rooted in presence, even during life’s toughest seasons.

Let’s be real — life has been lifing lately. I’ve personally felt off track, with a move, a house full of kids, and rhythms that just won’t stick. But these conversations reminded me that presence isn’t about getting it all right — it’s about returning to what’s real, again and again.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Wendy’s deeply moving story about her father’s illness — and how a simple daily gratitude practice changed everything
• How noticing small, joyful moments (even on hard days) can rewire your brain for peace and presence
• Jeneth’s daily meditation and breathwork ritual that sets the tone for aligned, grounded living
• The mantra that pulled her through some of life’s hardest challenges: “I don’t quit anymore. That’s not who I am.”
• Why journaling, movement, and curiosity can gently bring us back when we spiral or feel stuck

If you’ve been navigating grief, overwhelm, burnout, or just a big messy life transition — this episode is your invitation to breathe, drop into your body, and return to the moment.
