You had a quiet timeline in your head—by this age, you’d be calmer, further ahead, more “together”—and life did not follow the script. In this episode of The Shift X, Dr. Shena—America’s favorite attorney, revenue strategist, Senior 10X Performance Coach, and high‑pace professional in recovery—talks about the grief, shame, and pressure that show up when your actual life doesn’t match the timeline you promised yourself. You’ll see how invisible expectations keep you hustling past your own wins, why you feel “behind” even when other people think you’re impressive, and how to start editing your timeline without lowering your standards. By the end, you’ll have a simple two‑column exercise you can use this week to separate who you thought you had to be by now from who you’re actually becoming.
