If this year felt like everything you built started falling apart, you're not alone and you're not failing. In this episode, Lori and I talk about why so many people are coming out of 2025 feeling disoriented, frustrated, or like the plan they worked so hard for suddenly disappeared. We share the glass-blower analogy that has guided us through every major transition in our lives, including the complete collapse of my banking career in 2008 and the identity I had to melt down with it. Get ready to stop calling it a setback and start understanding what this phase is actually preparing you for.
HIGHLIGHTS
The glassblower metaphor that explains every major life reset.
What really happened for us during the 2008–2009 career and identity collapse.
How long real reinvention actually takes.
Why resisting change creates more pain.
Entire industries and income streams are melting down right now.
