On this road trip through the Northeast, I hit a wall. Fast-paced days, constant movement, background noise — all of it built up into a pressure I couldn't ignore anymore. In this journal entry, recorded during a quiet moment tucked away from the chaos, I work through the tension of trying to honor my own pace while traveling with my family.

This is about the battle between what I need versus what others want, how trapped energy can affect the people we love, and the importance of recognizing when to release before resentment builds.

No polished answers here — just a raw, real-time reflection on the messy middle: trying to stay grounded when the world won't slow down for you.

In this entry, I wrestle with what my role actually is — as a partner, consultant, guide. I reflect on the tension between caring deeply about someone’s business and knowing that I can’t carry it for them. There’s a difference between offering support and being responsible for someone else’s execution.

This one is for anyone who’s ever tried to help too much — who’s blurred the line between supporting and saving. It’s about boundaries, clarity, and redefining what it means to be deeply helpful without becoming the bottleneck.
