Show Notes
This one is a little raw. A little unpolished. And very real.
After batch-recording months of episodes and stepping into a new season of leadership, I sat down at the mic for the first time this year and realized something:
The most helpful thing I could share right now isn't a strategy or framework.
It's the truth.
Because even 10 years into business…
even 200+ podcast episodes later…
even as Managing Director of The Restoration Project…
I'm still relearning lessons I swore I already knew.
In this solo episode, I'm walking you through five things I'm honestly a little embarrassed I forgot in 2025 — from avoiding my finances (again) to chasing perfection, rushing relationships, overpacking my calendar, and holding back my voice.
But here's the thing: Embarrassment usually means growth is happening.
So if you've ever thought, "Shouldn't I be better at this by now?" — this episode is for you.
You're not behind. You're becoming.
