I’ve been working overtime on the fourth and final book in The Mind Monsters Series — to the point of tears. I realized I was pushing myself too hard, driven by fear of money, invisibility, and perfection. So I’m stepping back, moving my book release from December 2025 to June 2026 (or later if needed), and learning to breathe into the space between words and moments.

In this video I explore:
** Why we push ourselves to exhaustion
** The fears underneath (homelessness, invisibility, perfection)
** The search for belonging and purpose in midlife
** How letting go can open the path forward

If you’ve ever felt like you’re forcing life instead of flowing with it, this episode is for you.
