Somewhere between building a career, being financially responsible, chasing the next title, making more money, and trying to hold everything together, I lost my fun.

In this episode, I work through what happens when the version of success you spent years chasing no longer fits who you are becoming—and what it means when you realize you can’t remember the last time you laughed until you cried.

Maybe finding my fun isn’t about going back to who I used to be. Maybe it’s about discovering who I am now.

Two months after a workplace reorganization, the announcement is over, but the impact isn’t. I reflect on losing a trusted coworker, navigating changing leadership and heavier workloads, and questioning how much of ourselves we should give to a career that can change overnight.

I reflect on the weight of being the capable person at work while navigating constant change, unclear communication, and increasing responsibility. This episode explores how that pressure follows us beyond the workplace and leaves us questioning what is truly ours to carry.
