Most people borrow because they are scared.
I am borrowing because I refused to stop building.

This episode is not about the money. It is about the pride, the hesitation, the embarrassing rehearsals, and the weight of asking for help when you have built your life on being the one who helps others. I share what those days felt like, the lessons I learned, and why survival is not weakness but strategy.

At the end, I line up the words, thumb over the send button, and freeze. That is where we pick up next time in Episode 7: The Ask.

At a homecare conference in 2014, I knew it was time to move on.
The vision was clear: I was meant to build, create, and step into something bigger.
But instead of burning it down, I tried to play it safe, and safe cost me everything.

In this episode, I share the story of ignoring the call, chasing vision halfway, and what happened when comfort disguised itself as wisdom. This is the full circle moment that proves: if you don’t move when it’s time, life will move you — and it won’t ask permission.

After the callback, Florida felt a sense of redemption.
The victory lap.
The dream of finally building a business with my family in the mix.

But what I didn’t see was that the very thing I called safe was actually the wrong bet.

This episode is about the high before the fall, the cracks that started to show, and the breaking point that forced me to reset.

Listen in as I break down:

• Why “playing it safe” isn’t always safe
• The hidden costs of licenses, staff, and expansion
• What it feels like when the freeze hits and the machine stops cold
• The reset that started my rebuild

Sometimes the moment that breaks you is the same moment that saves you.
