📝 Episode Summary:
In this episode, I open up about my own existential crisis; the quiet kind that creeps in when life should feel right… but doesn’t.

I talk about the gap between who you are and you should be, and why so many of us feel unfulfilled even when we’re checking all the boxes.

From questioning the American Dream to navigating what success actually means, I unpack how we inherit scripts we never chose—and how to start rewriting them.

This is really just my personal reflection for anyone who feels stuck, lost, or just tired of performing success.

🎧 What You’ll Hear:

• Why the version of success we’re sold doesn’t always fit
• How different kinds of existential crises show up
• My story as a stay-at-home dad and what it taught me about identity
• The idea of the “Ideal Self” (Carl Rogers meets Aristotle)
• Practical steps to help you re-center your priorities
• A powerful visual from my mentor that changed how I see life

📌 Takeaways:

• You don’t have to chase a version of success that isn’t yours
• Your value isn’t tied to your paycheck
• Prioritizing what matters starts with knowing what matters
• Keep the main thing the main thing

🛠 Action Step:
Make a list of your top priorities—whatever matters most to you. Then, design your schedule around those things. Let your life reflect your values, not just your obligations.
