This episode is a raw reflection on anxiety, visibility, and what we lose when we chase success without slowing down.
Recorded in the car on a rainy Sunday morning, Please forgive me, the quality is not that good.
I talk about the quiet anxiety I’ve carried since childhood.... the kind that shows up before Monday hits, when you’re grinding hard but still feel invisible.
I share stories I’ve never said out loud, about fear, burnout, and the moment I looked through the glass door of my office and realized… I missed my wife.
Takeaways:
- Why anxiety often shows up when we’re finally alone with our thoughts .... especially on Sundays
- How early fears of being seen shaped my silence (and how that silence cost me connection)
- What high-achievers miss when they stay too focused on the goal
- A reminder that you can be visible in the world and still disconnected at home and how to change that
- Why being heard isn’t just about speaking louder, but learning to feel safe enough to be seen
If you’ve been feeling stretched, unseen, or like you're building something at the cost of your own peace , this one’s for you.
