In this episode, Pamela Dale and Alyssa Nolte dive into why the dreaded “Sunday Scaries” are just a symptom of a larger problem: a work-life system that values conformity over individual fulfillment. Pamela shares her journey—from teaching ESL in Korea and struggling with self-doubt to building million-dollar funnels and becoming a sought-after coach. The conversation challenges the traditional mindset that equates success with a “good job” and instead champions the importance of following your true path, leveraging new tools, and setting your own priorities.
