I almost didn’t record this episode.
Not because I didn’t have anything to say…but because life has completely wiped me out these past few months.
And in many ways, this episode is a continuation of a conversation I started earlier this year after releasing “Building My Biggest Vision In The Hardest Season Of My Life.”
Because the truth is…the hard season didn’t end.
It's only gotten harder.
Today’s episode is a deep dive into what I am learning about navigating your career in the middle of the hard.
I’m talking about:
⚡️ navigating my dad’s declining health
⚡️ why this season has been so much harder than losing my mom
⚡️ the Mother’s Day grief bomb that completely wrecked me
⚡️ the social media detox I needed for my nervous system
⚡️ spraining my ankle and realizing my body was forcing me to slow down
⚡️ and the truth about healing that nobody really talks about
One of the biggest things I shared inside BCA recently was this:
- Healing does not make you immune to pain.
- Personal development does not exempt you from grief, burnout, heartbreak, fear, uncertainty, or hard seasons.
The work changes your capacity to navigate it.
Ten years ago, this version of life probably would have destroyed me.
Today? It’s still devastating at times but I’m still here.
And I think that’s the real work.
If you’re in a season where life feels heavy right now, I hope this episode reminds you that you are not failing because things feel hard.
You are having a human experience.
