What if the nagging feeling that you're meant for more isn't anxiety—but your soul crying out for alignment?
Jared Sebesta had it all by conventional standards: a 12-year career as a successful TV weatherman, followed by an impressive role in the financial industry. Yet despite the external validation, he found himself pacing his house at night, unable to articulate the profound disconnection he felt. It wasn't about money or status—it was about alignment.
In this deeply vulnerable conversation, Jared shares the pivotal moment when he declared "I'm done playing defense" and how that simple shift transformed everything. With remarkable candor, he reveals the counterintuitive actions he took after leaving his career—writing four and five-figure checks for coaching and development when most would've retreated into saving mode. "Those seeds don't come to fruition right away," he explains. "That's where most people don't take it to the next level, because fear overcomes them before the fruit gets harvested."
We explore the profound mindset shifts that enabled Jared's transformation, particularly moving from scarcity to abundance. His daily affirmation "I lack nothing" helped him navigate not only his career transition but also profound personal losses, including the deaths of his mother and brother within three months. Rather than seeing these challenges as setbacks, Jared views them as divinely orchestrated opportunities for breakthrough.
For anyone feeling stuck in a "life deferred" pattern always waiting for someday—this episode offers both compassionate understanding and a practical roadmap forward. As Jared powerfully states, "The truth is, you have no lack. There is infinite pie for everybody." The question isn't whether you have what it takes, but whether you have the audacity to step into alignment now.
Ready to stop waiting and start becoming? This conversation might be the permission slip you've been waiting for. Stop waiting for someday and start making bold, purpose-driven moves... Today.
