If you knew your dream would take 13 years… would you still chase it?
 What if it never came to pass—would you still show up, still put in the work?

In this episode, I’m diving into one of the most important questions I’ve ever heard—one that stopped me in my tracks and forced me to check my intentions. Am I chasing this for the outcome? Or because it’s who I truly am?

This episode is for anyone who’s tired of waiting, questioning their path, or wondering if it’s even worth it anymore.

We’ll break down:

  • Why your “why” has to be deeper than success
  • How delayed results can lead to lasting transformation
  • What it means to pursue purpose without a guaranteed outcome

If you’ve been in a season of doubt or delay, this message is for you.
