I’ve been there…

I’ve been there. I’ve scaled seven-figure start-ups in competitive international markets. I’ve ticked those boxes. I’ve hustled that grind. Made the big bucks. I’ve lived the life of hyper-success, and lemme tell you what I learned: none of it means shit if you can’t feel good doing it.

I remember when everything began to shift for me. I was moving from Kenya to the States and my nervous system was a hot mess. I’d been managing tf out of everything: big time international startups, a budding long-distance relationship, the grief of losing my mum. I had it un.der. con.trol. 

I was going through so many motions, and feeling so ... empty. I knew something needed to shift. I told myself I needed a “reset.” But I didn’t understand wtf that even meant. Because I was still caught. Still committed to trudging forward, forcing it: managing. I was desperately trying to keep everything in those neat little boxes that had gotten me this far… all the while some other part of me was screaming, “No, this can’t be it!!!”
