🎙️ In this solo episode of The Platform Podcast, I explore what happens when your ambitions outpace your bandwidth—and how that tension can lead to burnout. I open up about my own struggles managing a demanding career, family responsibilities, health challenges, and the pressure to keep this podcast consistent.

I share the strategies I’ve used to rebuild momentum by reconnecting with my purpose, realigning daily actions with long-term goals, and designing systems that support growth—without burning out. I also highlight the power of competition and accountability to help stay motivated and focused.If you've felt overwhelmed, off track, or like you're carrying more than you can manage, this episode is your guide back to alignment.
