CRX EP 73: Part 3: Slowing Down to Wake Up
Update: 2025-07-20
Description
In this raw and deeply personal episode, I take you through my own breaking point. For years, I was caught in the loop of hustle culture — from med school to residency, from late nights to early rounds, always trying to prove myself. I was trapped in performance, drowning in materialism, lost in rage, and my relationships were collapsing. The grind had me… until it broke me. What woke me up was a series of silent alarms: my wife’s postpartum depression, our daily fights, my toxic behaviors, and a creeping realization that I was spiritually bankrupt. I was lost — until I chose to slow down and face the mirror. I share how I started over:
🧘 Early mornings, stillness, and mindful routines
📓 Journaling and meditation
📖 Reading and reflection
🥗 Taking care of my physical and mental health
🧩 Letting go of the unnecessary — things, people, mindsets
🛠️ Building resilience and peace by doing hard things This episode is for the high performers, the exhausted, the angry, the burned out — those who can’t slow down because they’re scared they’ll fall apart. Maybe falling apart is what you need to rebuild.
