I share the raw story of how I spent five years grinding toward a version of success that wasn’t even mine — and how hitting that wall forced me to re-evaluate everything. Through values, beliefs, and ethics, I rebuilt my personal blueprint for decision-making and started “taste-testing” life on my terms.

This isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about asking the right questions — and giving yourself permission to experiment, pivot, and let go of the pressure to “get it right” the first time.

If you’ve ever felt behind, burned out, or just... off-track — this one’s for you.
