Calm & Colorful: Not Your Average MBA Diaries

I Missed the Deadline, and It Woke Me Up


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m sharing a very real moment from my journey inside the One Day MBA, not the highlight reel, but the messy middle.

I talk about what it feels like to set a big goal, like becoming one of the top students in the program, and then face the gut punch of realizing I didn’t show up the way I promised myself I would.

Missing a deadline.

Avoiding marketing.

Feeling overwhelmed.

Getting mad at myself.

Questioning everything.

This episode is about integrity, fear, and what happens when the stories in your head start getting loud, and you decide to run toward the fear instead of backing away.

I share:

  • Why being “late” hit me harder than I expected
  • The deal I made with my mentor, and why I reset the clock on myself
  • How fear shows up disguised as self-doubt and procrastination
  • What it looks like to call in your full support system instead of spiraling alone
  • Why shooting for the moon still matters, even on the weeks you’re exhausted

This is an honest check-in from the overwhelm phase, the part most people skip sharing. If you’re building something meaningful, carrying a lot, and still choosing to show up, this episode is for you.
