My wheel of life reality check

In this episode, I’m sharing a season of my life I’ve never forgotten—because it brought me to my knees.

There was a time when my Wheel of Life was absolutely wrecked. I wasn’t taking care of my health. I had no grip on my finances. I was spiritually, emotionally, and physically burnt out—on autopilot, pretending everything was okay… until it wasn’t.

Eventually, life caught up with me. I couldn’t pay rent. I was scraping coins together for groceries. And it hit a point where I had to do something I never thought I’d do—I called my brother and asked for money. That phone call cracked me open. It was humbling, embarrassing, and confronting. But what it also did was lead me back to something I’d forgotten about: the Wheel of Life.

My dad reintroduced it to me not as some cheesy self-help tool—but as a mirror. To meet my life exactly where it was at. To stop pretending. To stop performing.
And to take responsibility—not shame—for how out of alignment I’d become.

This episode is real. And it’s a reminder that when life feels like it’s falling apart, sometimes it’s actually asking you to come back to what matters.
