Episode notes

In this episode, I talk honestly about trying to stay grounded, motivated, and intentional while living in the horror of the Trump era and the very real harm being caused by policies like ICE enforcement. I wrestle with whether it even makes sense to focus on goals, growth, or building a business when so much feels so much more urgent and broken.

I share a personal reflection on asking myself, “Do I still want this?”- and how learning to tell the difference between quitting because something is hard and realizing it’s no longer aligned can change everything. If you’ve been feeling stuck, conflicted, or unsure how to move forward right now, this one’s for you.
