Nothing Is Wrong With You for Needing More Time

This episode is a refusal.

I talk about closing the office down—and what happens when you stop forcing motion just to look alive. Stillness isn’t laziness; it’s alignment. It’s the moment the soul stops performing readiness and finally tells the truth. Because nothing essential aligns in haste. Ever.

We get into silence—not the cute, aesthetic kind, but the uncomfortable kind where clarity starts forming bones. When life gets loud, stillness is how you hear yourself again. Becoming doesn’t happen on the surface. Alignment doesn’t announce itself. It works underground, unnoticed, while the world is busy clapping for noise.

There’s also a heavy, honest conversation around exclusion—how systems reward urgency and punish those who need time, rest, or space to metabolize their becoming. Who gets left behind when speed becomes a moral virtue?

This episode is for anyone who’s been made to feel broken for moving slower, pausing longer, or choosing quiet over performance. Nothing is wrong with you.

What survives the quiet is what belongs to you.

This is the first episode of the new year—and the first one in a while. I’ve been away for months, and I want to say this simply: I’m glad to be back. I’m sorry I disappeared. I missed you. 2025 was a year that refused to perform. A year that asked for truth instead of polish, for silence instead of explanation. If that resonates, you may want to read my Substack.

In this episode, we talk about learning to want again without flinching—how desire returns quietly, cautiously, like a wild animal, and the courage it takes not to scare it away. We talk about rebuilding identity without witnesses—becoming someone new without an audience, without validation, without a neat before-and-after moment. And we talk about grief as an unchosen education—the way heartbreak teaches discernment, depth, and a private language only the initiated understand.

This episode is an offering toward living as art, not performance—creating a life guided by taste, inner coherence, and discernment rather than applause.
