You’re Not Behind, You’re Just in the Wrong Room

Have you ever looked around and thought, “Why am I not as far along as everyone else?” In this episode, I share why feeling behind might not mean you’re falling short — it might just mean you’re in the wrong room.

I open up about a powerful moment at a high-level mastermind where, despite being surrounded by massive success, I felt completely misaligned. I was being pushed to scale faster, do more, go bigger — while silently navigating one of the most difficult seasons of my personal life. That experience reminded me that alignment > pressure, and success should support your life — not consume it.

Inside this episode, I walk you through the 4-part framework I use with my clients when that “I’m behind” voice creeps in:

1. Pause the Comparison Loop
2. Audit the Voices Influencing You
3. Recenter Your Definition of Growth
4. Find or Create the Right Room

This isn’t just a pep talk — it’s a mindset and business reset. Whether you’re building a lean solo business or scaling a million-dollar team, growth must fit your season, your values, and your version of peace.

You’re not behind — you’re just not where you’re meant to grow.
It’s time to exit the pressure and enter a room that fits your life.
