This episode is a little different. It's more raw, more real. I’m not here today with a toolkit of strategies or leadership hacks. I’m here to speak from the heart.
If you’ve been moving through a heavy season, questioning your path, doubting your choices, or just feeling completely and utterly exhausted, this one’s for you. I’ve been there. More than once. And recently, I found myself back in that space, wrestling with grief, identity shifts, and the pressure to hold it all together.
In this short solo episode, I’m sharing my own experience with the "darkness". Not just the “tough day” kind of dark, but the deep, consuming kind that makes you wonder if it’s all worth it. I talk about ego death, misalignment, somatic symptoms, and the real reason high-functioning people still break down.
This isn’t about toxic positivity. It’s about truth. And it’s about remembering that even when you feel buried, you’re not broken. You’re becoming.
If you’ve been stuck in a loop of fear, fatigue, or regret, I hope this brings even one moment of light. You're not a burden. You're not alone. And yes, it really is darkest before the dawn.
