ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This week's episode is a little different—and that's exactly the point.
After starting a new job and facing an especially full week, I almost skipped recording altogether. Instead, I started thinking about the minimum viable version of showing up: the smallest version of a commitment that still keeps us connected to what matters.
In this short episode, we're talking about all-or-nothing thinking, changing capacity, and why scaling something down isn't the same as giving up.
If you're tired, overwhelmed, or feeling like you can't do things the way you normally would, this one is for you.
