Some seasons don’t feel like growth, they feel like everything is falling apart. If 2025 didn’t go according to plan, you’re not broken and you’re not behind. In this episode, we dive into why so many high performers are coming out of this year feeling disoriented, frustrated, or in full-on meltdown mode. We talk about how entire industries, income streams, and identities are melting down right now, why resisting that reality only creates more pain, and how choosing to step into the fire on your own terms gives you first-mover advantage instead of forcing you to rebuild from survival mode later. Get ready to see your meltdown in a completely different way.
