This conversation with Mo Hiromoto sits inside a familiar but often unspoken place. Knowing that something needs to change, without yet having language for what that change looks like.

We talk about what happens when momentum keeps you moving but leaves little room to listen. About staying busy, staying capable, staying productive, while slowly losing contact with what you actually want. Mo reflects on the experience of quieting the noise, not to arrive at quick clarity, but to make space for it to emerge in its own time.

There is a strong thread in this conversation around patience. With yourself. With the process. With the uncertainty that comes before decisions feel solid. Rather than chasing outcomes, we spend time on what it means to notice signals, question inherited expectations, and resist the urge to rush forward just to feel resolved.

This episode lives in that in-between space, where nothing is fully formed yet, but something is clearly asking for attention.

What comes up in the conversation

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why clarity cannot be rushed, and what happens when you try
• Staying stuck out of fear, even when movement feels necessary
• Learning to listen beneath noise, obligation, and expectation
