You walked out feeling great. They were nodding, it was clicking, you crushed it.

Here's the uncomfortable part nobody says out loud.

That glow you're carrying was almost certainly about you. How sharp you were in there. How well it landed. The moments you'll replay later on your own highlight reel.

The feeling you were actually supposed to be managing, theirs, the one that drives home without you and shows up alone to the decision, you probably never checked on it once.

The meeting that feels the best is often the one you should trust the least. And if that stings a little, this episode is for you.
