There's a point when pushing through stops working. Not because you're weak. Because something is misaligned.

I sat down with Todd Allyn, a high-performance identity strategist, for a conversation that challenged how I think about resilience, success, and self-leadership. We talked about drift. The quiet kind that happens when your identity gets tied to roles, titles, and expectations that no longer fit. The kind that keeps capable, disciplined people stuck while telling themselves to just be more resilient.

Todd shares what happened when a 25-year career ended overnight and how rebuilding from the inside out forced him to separate who he was from what he did. What landed most for me was this truth. Resilience without alignment eventually becomes self-betrayal.

If something feels off and you've been trying to push through it, this conversation will meet you where you are and challenge you to pay attention.
