In this episode of Theo’s Coffee Break, Theo shares the real story behind walking away from a stable banking job, multiple promotions, and a clear path to financial security in order to pursue something far less certain but far more honest.

This is not a highlight reel. It is a conversation about nausea from burnout, friends disappearing, being called reckless, and still choosing to trust an inner peace that made no sense on paper.

Theo opens up about:

• The difference between faith and fear, and how both try to protect you in different ways
• Leaving a “respectable” job to build a podcast and a seven part music project without a safety net
• The loneliness that comes with choosing a path others do not understand
• Redefining success from titles and paychecks to peace, presence, and purpose
• How movement, journaling, reading, and collaboration help him move through fear instead of being ruled by it

If you have ever been made to feel foolish for wanting a life that feels like your own, this episode is for you. This is not homework, this is heartwork. You are invited to reflect on what faith over fear could look like in your own story and what it might mean to finally stop abandoning yourself.
