Season 1, Episode 2: The Lie of Constant Progress

"The real flex isn't how much you can handle. It's how little you tolerate that isn't aligned."

We live in a culture that confuses motion with meaning.Back-to-back meetings. 2 a.m. emails. That endless chase for the next win.

It looks like progress—but it often hides a deeper truth: we're performing productivity to prove our worth.

In this episode, I open up about my years in Silicon Valley, where exhaustion was currency and overperformance felt like survival. I share the moment I realized I was running full speed in circles—and how I learned to replace constant motion with conscious momentum.

You'll hear stories about:

The illusion of "keeping up" in high-performance cultures

How trauma and identity can fuel overachievement

Why "busy" is the most socially acceptable form of avoidance

The simple shifts that helped me trade output for alignment

By the end, you'll be ready to ask yourself three questions:

• What am I chasing?

• What am I avoiding?

• And what would progress feel like if it didn't hurt?
