Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I dive deep into the realization that I've been gripping too tightly in various areas of my life—taking things far too seriously and creating unnecessary strain. Inspired by a recent experience while swimming, I share how this mindset has impacted my professional and personal life, often making me seem frustrated or anxious when faced with new challenges.
As I reflect on this journey, I uncover that much of this pressure comes from fear, anxiety, and a need to prove myself—stemming from the past and a fear that everything could be taken away at any moment. Through this episode, I open up about these struggles, discuss how to shift perspective, and encourage men in their 20s who may be feeling the same way to reconsider how they approach their goals and challenges.
