🎙️ Episode 7: When Good News Derails You (And Why That's Actually the Work)

📆 March 15, 2026

Quick Take:

Getting what you wanted can spin you out just as fast as getting rejected — and recognizing that faster is the whole point.

What's Inside:

— I got accepted to the Astonish Yourself Summit (!) and immediately went into "shit just got real" mode

— what that spiral looked like and why it makes complete sense

— Why pausing the plan to go public with the podcast isn't quitting

— and how I knew the difference between a capacity decision and a fear decision

— The through line connecting the last few episodes and what it has to do with my summit presentation: the spiral before the bold move, the spiral after, and how you shorten how long it knocks you down

Listener Notes:

Breakout isn’t a broadcast — it’s a conversation.

If something in this episode made you pause, rage-nod, feel seen, or want to riff — I want to hear it.
