- When perfectionism becomes performance: Growing up as #6 of 15 siblings

- Why being purposeful isn't the same as feeling fulfilled

- How to get people with competing egos to actually collaborate

I was running five-day challenges every month, constantly marketing, always "on." Everyone saw success, but I was exhausted. Then, I had to make a choice that changed everything.

Most people think the answer is doing more – more networking, more content, more hustle. But what if I told you that sometimes the breakthrough comes when you walk away from everything you've built? There's something that happens when you stop hiding behind screens and people meet the real you.

Turns out, the path I was avoiding – working face-to-face with people instead of through pixels – became exactly what I needed. And starting fresh? It forces people to see who you are now, not who you used to be.

Highlights of This Episode:

- The places I've been traveling and what I've been learning

- Why five-day challenges every month burned me out

- What I discovered about face-to-face work after avoiding it

- How losing my 22-year Facebook network became a breakthrough

- How starting fresh lets people see who you are today
