Episode Synopsis

Right before the big wins... comes the wobble. Ever noticed that? In this episode, I’m lifting the lid on what really happens behind the scenes on the road to success, and why most people pull back right when they’re about to break through.

From moving cities for my son’s dreams, to leaving a DV relationship, to corporate ceilings, copycats, court threats, and comebacks, this is a real-world look at what high-achieving humans face when they’re on the edge of something bigger.

This one’s for you if you’ve been:

Asking for more, but wondering why everything suddenly feels hard

On the edge of burnout or breakthrough (or both)

Feeling tested, second-guessing yourself, or ready to walk away

We’ll talk about:

The mindset reframe that got me through the toughest times

How to identify when you’re hitting your upper limit problem (and how to smash through it)

Why your resilience and self-respect are non-negotiable success tools

The difference between sabotage and strategy—and how to choose power every damn time

This episode is a reminder that the most successful people don’t avoid hard ... they rise through it. Your next level is waiting.
