About this episode
If you’re ending the year feeling behind, disappointed, or like you somehow missed the mark, this conversation is for you. I walk you through why that heavy feeling doesn’t mean you failed. It means you’re in the middle of your story. We break down why success and failure are not opposites, why detours matter, and how progress often looks messy, slow, and nothing like the straight line you imagined. I share the laps, setbacks, and long-game lessons from my own speaking journey and the years it took before I ever landed that Oxygen Magazine cover. You will learn why patience is a performance tool, how to see this season with more clarity, and what mindset to carry into the new year so you stop quitting right before it finally clicks. If you’ve been hard on yourself, this episode helps you zoom out, reset, and remember that you’re closer than you think.
