Summary: Being excellent at misaligned work can look like success but feel like erosion. Eric shares a personal moment of drift and a permission‑giving first step back toward alignment.

Highlights:

• The quiet signs of misalignment (when praise stops landing, weekends become recovery)
• Why proficiency can keep you stuck — and how to notice what actually energizes you
• A humane first step: one sentence after the next block of work to make the truth visible

Key takeaway: You don’t need a grand plan to move — just one energizing step in the right direction.
