In this solo episode, I get honest about the self-imposed deadline I gave myself to quit, the 160-mile Camino pilgrimage that made me question all of it, and the decision to get my business "skinny" so I could finally make moves I'd been too stuck to make. If you've ever felt buried under the parts of your business you never signed up for, this one's for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Falling out of love with your business is usually a signal you're spending too much time on the work you dislike—not proof you're in the wrong work. Selling stops feeling gross the moment you actually believe what you offer matters to someone's life or business, whether or not they hire you. Cutting expenses to get "skinny" (sharing studio rent, trimming roles) freed up roughly $10K a month and gave me room to be nimble again. You can't control the outcome—only what you do today—and there's a lot of freedom in laying down the weight that was never yours to carry.
