Your persistence is not wasted. It’s wiring you for who you’re becoming.
If you've ever felt like quitting something you know you're meant to do… this one’s for you. In this episode of Crystal Clarity, I’m getting vulnerable about a season that nearly broke me—financial strain, rebranding chaos, and the weight of wondering, "Should I just walk away?" Spoiler: I didn’t. And the universe delivered a sign so bold, I couldn’t ignore it.
But beyond the cosmic wink, we’re diving into the science of why sticking with it matters. Because persistence isn’t just motivational fluff—it literally rewires your brain.
🧠✨ Inside this episode:
- The breakdown before the breakthrough (and why I almost quit Paradox)
- What neuroscience says about failure, feedback loops, and growth
- How childhood programming around self-worth still shows up in business
- The emotional “onion” we all have to peel to evolve A personal story that reminded me I’m exactly where I need to be
Whether you're rebranding, rebuilding, or just really tired, this is your reminder: Staying in the room changes everything.
