[ Entrepreneurship Real Talk ] The Loneliness of Wanting More and Building Your Dream Life EP406

2022 has brought up DEEP PAIN for me.

We all go into a new year filled with hope, excitement, and intentions for great accomplishments. The part that we seem to forget every year is in order for our intentions to manifest, PAINFUL STUFF WILL OCCUR.

Look back on anything major you’ve attracted into your life….none of these things happened without any detours, roadblocks, craziness, bumps, bruises, or even life-changing catastrophes.

When we want to call in something or someone new into our lives, typically the Universe requires us to let something go that we’ve been holding onto for far too long. That could be a belief, a habit, a relationship, a career, or literal pounds on your body.

It would be nice if God had this all happen at a pace that was manageable and not so disruptive to our lives…but that’s not how BIG REQUIRED CHANGES unfold.

We end up having a season, sometimes a month, a year, or a few weeks where we get hit with one major blow after another, forcing us into a place of complete surrender, as there is no other option or explanation for all of these painful things.

I walked to 2022 saying this is my year to take my life to the next level. 22 is my angel number and lucky number…so I felt this to the core.

Here’s a snapshot on what’s unfolded FOR ME:

Broke off my engagement and moved to the beach alone.
Internet went out during my big annual launch + the sales page platform we use had a worldwide outage for 48 hours.
I spent 25K on advertising (first time doing this level of ad spend on my own business) with crap results due to the above drama.
My mom got into a relationship with a dangerous ex-felon (still ongoing).
Deeply painful abandonment issues being triggered regularly.
My PTSD night terrors started again.

I’m not listing all of these out for sympathy…these are all highly stressful things that clearly were and are required for me to reach that NEXT LEVEL I so deeply desire.

Do I feel a bit beat up? Yes…. Do I pray to God daily asking for a reprieve? Yes…

I am able to keep showing up, because I’m choosing to believe this is all happening for my greatest good.

If we want what we say we want, then we have to be willing to go through the necessary crap to get it, no matter how messy it is.

Know that I see you, feel you, and get it more than you probably realize.

EP 765 The Final Shedding Required for the Biggest Quantum Jump of Your Life

If you have been feeling restless, emotionally raw, impatient with your old patterns, or like your current life suddenly feels too small, you are not imagining it.

As we close out the Year of the Snake and prepare to enter the Year of the Fire Horse on February 17, 2026, we are moving through a rare 60-year transition cycle associated with identity shifts, shedding outdated patterns, and stepping into a faster, bolder chapter of life.

This episode explores the final shedding required before a major quantum jump, why this phase can feel emotionally intense, and how to stop delaying the version of you that is ready to move forward.

Instead of surface-level motivation or spiritual bypassing, this conversation focuses on honest self-reflection, releasing emotional attachments, confronting resistance, and taking decisive action so you can move into your next level with clarity and momentum.

EP 764 2026 Glow Up Protocol: (The Boundaries) How to Set Healthy Boundaries Without Guilt in 2026

This episode of the 2026 Glow Up Protocol is all about boundaries.

Not the cold, harsh, push-people-away kind. But the kind that protect your energy, your peace, and your future.

Most high achievers think burnout comes from working too hard. The truth is much simpler: burnout comes from weak boundaries.

If you’ve ever felt exhausted, resentful, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin, it’s not because you care too much or work too much. It’s because you’ve been saying yes to things that should have been a no.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries without guilt, fear, or anxiety — and how to finally stop overgiving to the point of losing yourself.

True change in 2026 doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from becoming someone new on the inside first.

In this episode, we go beyond surface level self-improvement and get into the emotional, psychological, and energetic work of remembering who you actually are and deciding who you want to be next.
