In this powerful personal development episode, Neal Reyes takes a deep dive into what he calls the “Treadmill of Life”—a trap many high performers fall into without even realizing it.

If you feel worn out, overextended, and like your life is stuck on repeat, this message will hit home. Neal unpacks why motion doesn’t equal progress, why survival mode is a trap (not a strategy), and how to step off the treadmill and start living with intention and purpose again.

👟 This episode is a wake-up call and a reset.

It’s time to stop running in place and start moving with meaning.

💥 Leadership Truth Bombs:

• "It’s possible to run all day and still be stuck in the same place—only now, you’re exhausted."
• "Busyness without purpose leads to burnout.
• "Stop running on default. Start living by design."
• "You weren’t created just to exist. You were called to live—with purpose."
• "When you realign with your why, the how starts to flow again."
