The Solo Grind
What Would You Do When All Doors Feel Closed?
🎧 Episode Summary:
This week on The Solo Grind, I’m digging into a tough question: What would you do if it felt like every door was closed and success was nowhere in sight? This conversation was inspired by a real-life moment where someone asked for my opinion—and what they really wanted was permission to compromise their growth and take the easy way out.
Instead, I was honest. I shared exactly what I would do when it feels like the odds are stacked and the setbacks keep piling up.
In this episode, I’m talking about the power of honest conversations, why fake positivity doesn’t help anyone, and how to find your way forward—no matter how many “no’s” you hear. Because my friends whining won’t move you forward. But resilience will.
Pour yourself a cup, hit play, and let’s have a real conversation.
