Timestamped Show Notes:

25:50 – How do we set our priorities? What is that focus, right? I've got my health figured out. You know, I'm healthy, I'm happy. So now I can pour into somebody else's cup, if that makes sense...

55:00 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

I think what triggered a lot of this was just that I realized that I was stressed out and unhappy. So if you're stressed out and unhappy, there's a reason why, right? I'm not painting this as you need to pivot your life. But maybe there's some minor change, and you keep doing what you're doing in a different way. The thing is, when I was working full time jobs, by the time I was considering whether or not it was worth jumping ship or trying to fix whatever was wrong, wherever I was, I've learned that it was just time to jump ship. The thing is, is just sit down and yeah, figure out, okay, well, what is it that I really want?
