Episode 9: In this episode, Dr. Lea breaks down the real reason so many of us feel stuck—even when we're working hard. It’s not about talent, effort, or even strategy; it’s about environment. She shares personal experiences of major highs and frustrating setbacks, revealing how the people and spaces around us can either push us forward or hold us back.

The choice is yours.
