Questioning Everything Was Just the Start

This wasn’t a planned episode.

This was me hitting record because I couldn’t keep carrying everything in my head.

Lately, I’ve been tired. Not just physically. Mentally. Spiritually. Creatively.

And it had me asking some uncomfortable questions. About the podcast. About my direction. About whether I’m burned out or just done.

Somewhere in all of that, one question kept coming back up:

What’s my why?

And maybe more importantly… is it even mine?

In this episode, I talk through burnout, pressure, comparison, and the boxes we put ourselves in trying to be liked, understood, or validated. I don’t have a neat answer. I’m not teaching a framework. I’m just being honest about what it feels like to realize the way you’ve been moving no longer fits.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from something you once loved, or stuck trying to live up to expectations that aren’t really yours, this one’s for you.

No perfection.

No polish.

Just a real moment in the middle of a shift.

It’s About DAMN Time Segment

It’s about damn time I stop moving for everyone else and start defining my why for myself.

D.A.M.N. Challenge

Take some time this week to discover or rediscover your why.

Not the one that sounds good.

Not the one that makes other people comfortable.

The one that actually belongs to you.

Write it down. Sit with it. Let it change if it needs to.
