What if the bravest thing you could do for your work, your calling, or your life is to carry less of it?

In this episode, I move from the messy middle into a quieter clarity - exploring how impact, ambition, and worth can become entangled with performance, metrics, and the need to be “enough.” Using a simple marshmallow-and-toothpick game as a living metaphor, I reflect on the beliefs, identities, and internal scaffolding that once kept us upright - and how those supports can be gently dismantled once the wounds they protected have been tended.

I share how past structures helped me survive earlier seasons, and why releasing them now isn’t failure or betrayal, but reverence. The conversation then turns toward the future: how dreams quietly turn into duty, how calling can become measured by reach and audience size, and how an old “not enough” scorekeeper can still linger beneath spiritual language.

Motherhood and partnership offer grounded examples of what happens when love is no longer required to validate worth - and how stability strengthens when outcomes stop carrying the load. The episode turns on a roadside encounter with monks walking for peace: no messaging, no persuasion, just presence. That moment reframes impact not as louder or bigger, but as coherent - felt in the body rather than proven through results.

This episode is for anyone who feels tired of optimizing their soul, carrying the weight of expectations, or mistaking visibility for meaning. It’s an invitation to unburden what no longer needs to be held, to trust the strength of the center, and to remember that coherence itself is impact.
