Ep 1: The Life That Didn't Fit

I had the house, the career, the manager title, the social life - everything that looked right from the outside. And I felt like I was wading through mud every single day.
This is the origin story. In episode one I take you back to the stagnant years - happy on paper, never in crisis, but quietly certain something was off and unable to explain why. I talk about the trip to Australia that showed me a different life was possible, the slow and deeply un-dramatic decision to actually go (no lightning bolt - just a Gantt chart and a night where I decided to decide), and the crash that hit when I arrived with nothing left to define me.
I'd already told myself you are not your job, you are not your social circle, you are not your schedule - and when it came to it, I crashed anyway. This is the honest version of what that taught me: that the inner work doesn't stop the wobble, it gives you something to hold onto inside it.
If your life looks fine from the outside but something feels off, this one's for you.
