One day I woke up and realized, I can’t do this anymore. Three days later, I quit. No safety net, no “perfect plan.” Just a deep knowing that it was time.

This episode is about that terrifying, exhilarating moment when the plan you thought you needed collides with the truth you can’t ignore. I always believed I’d have seven months of savings, a tidy business plan, and all the safety nets in place before leaving corporate. But real life? Real pivots? They don’t usually wait for perfect timing.

Here’s the messy, raw truth: the money wasn’t all there, the plan wasn’t polished, and my head was still yelling “you’re not ready.” But my body and my soul said otherwise. And when I finally stopped fighting myself and listened, I remembered that success doesn’t come from spreadsheets or timelines. It comes from betting on you.
