Work can be meaningful, disciplined, ambitious, and deeply worthwhile. But even good work can start taking up too much space if it begins crowding out rest, relationships, joy, health, and presence. In this episode of The Better Path Podcast, Steve explores what happens when work stops supporting life and starts organizing life around itself. This is a grounded, human conversation about ambition, burnout, capacity, and the danger of postponing life until after the next milestone, with a better frame at the center: let your work matter, but let it live inside a fuller life.
