This conversation explores the fear, excitement, and emotional recalibration that happens when you stop operating from survival mode and begin choosing joy, alignment, and self-trust. It’s a powerful reminder that growth doesn’t mean pushing harder — it means redesigning your life so joy is sustainable.
