Summary

You built the business. You became the leader. You're the one people count on. But what does it actually cost to always be "on"? In this episode, we unpack the hidden weight of constant pressure, the mental load that never shuts off, and how success can quietly start to own you if you're not careful. This is a real, honest look at ambition, identity, and learning how to be present in the life you worked so hard to build.
