87 days left in 2025. How did you invest your most valuable asset—your time?**

If you keep saying “I’ll do it next time” and never do, this episode is for you. We pull apart the unspoken rules keeping you small, be polite when disrespected, stay small so others feel safe, don’t ask for too much and replace them with clarity, boundaries, and self-trust you can feel in your body.

You’ll get a guided mindful reset to calm your inner critic, plus practical steps to stop performing and start living like your life is yours. We talk about naming rock bottom as orientation (not failure), setting boundaries without drama, and what changes when you finally ask: *“Is this even mine?”*

**In this episode:**
• Time audit as a reality check on what matters
• Exposing inherited rules and people-pleasing scripts
• Clarity over being “difficult” as a reframe
• Guided breath and inner coach activation
• Naming rock bottom as orientation, not failure
• Micro-steps to shift from performing to living
• Boundaries you can enforce with calm
• Choosing breakthroughs by asking “Is this even mine?”
• Choosing now over “next time” with simple actions

Rock bottom can look like heartbreak, burnout, grief, or quiet misalignment, it’s all valid data. When you claim where you are, your brain stops wasting energy on the facade and can finally help you navigate forward.
