In this solo episode of The Growth Voyage Podcast, I share the biggest lesson 2025 taught me - what happened when taking action quietly turned into forcing growth.
I reflect on discipline, productivity, and routine, and how chasing momentum eventually led to burnout, overwhelm, and loss of clarity. This episode explores the tension many men face between pushing forward and slowing down enough to listen.
I talk about action vs compulsion, why being productive doesn’t always mean you’re aligned, how over-consuming information and “always needing to heal” can become avoidance, and why presence gave me better data than thinking ever did. This is a reflection on what stopped working for me in 2025, how slowing down helped recalibrate my direction, and what I’m carrying forward as I continue the growth journey.
