Losing My Mobility, Finding My Voice & Rebuilding from Scratch

What happens when life forces you to slow down?

In this raw, deeply personal episode, I’m sharing the story of losing mobility in my legs and the identity crisis that followed. For so long, I tied my worth to movement—to always pushing, producing, and proving myself through output. But when I physically couldn’t do that anymore, I had to confront some hard truths:

✔ Who am I when I can’t “keep up”?
✔ Is rest really falling behind—or is it an invitation?
✔ How do I rebuild a life that actually fits me—instead of forcing movement that drains me?

If you’re in a season where life has slowed you down—whether through burnout, transition, or uncertainty—this episode is for you. We’re talking about what it means to surrender to a new pace, redefine execution, and rebuild with peace instead of pressure.

🔹 Listen in to hear:

•  How losing mobility forced me to rethink execution, rest, and purpose.
•  The hard lesson God taught me about slowing down before I burn out.
•  Why you don’t have to prove yourself through exhaustion.
• Practical ways to move forward differently—at a pace that actually works for you.
