I didn’t plan for episode 10 to feel this reflective, but lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the seasons in my life where everything felt like it was falling apart at once. At the time, I truly believed I was being attacked — in business, in relationships, even internally. I kept asking myself why things were shaking when I was working so hard and trying to grow. Looking back now, I see it differently. I wasn’t being attacked, I was being corrected. In this episode, I talk about ego — not confidence or ambition, but the subtle need to prove, control, defend, and win. The kind of ego that can build impressive things, but not peaceful ones. I share what it took for me to recognize where I was asking for more while not fully honoring what I already had, and how resentment, pride, and misalignment quietly block the very growth we say we want. This isn’t a preachy conversation; it’s an honest one about discipline, forgiveness, and what it feels like when life starts dismantling what you thought you needed. If you’re in a season where things feel uncertain or uncomfortable, maybe you’re not being punished. Maybe you’re just being refined.
