What does it means when life, work, or even the wider world feels like it’s unraveling. Instead of rushing to fix, patch, or hold things together, what if we paused to ask: is this falling apart actually necessary?

On the macro level, we’re witnessing systems—colonialism, white supremacy, extractive capitalism—that need to come undone. On the micro level, the same can be true for our careers, businesses, or identities. Sometimes the unraveling is painful, disorienting, even ego-shattering. And sometimes, it’s the very thing that creates space for something new to grow.

I share stories from my clients who feel like their careers or businesses are crumbling, and how we’ve worked together to see that collapse not just as loss, but as the beginning of clarity. I also reflect on what it means to let go of the professional identities and systems we no longer want, even when doing so feels deeply uncomfortable.

Whether you’re navigating a difficult career transition, questioning your sense of security, or simply looking for meaning in this chaotic moment we’re all living through, this episode is an invitation to sit with the discomfort of falling apart—and to imagine how the ashes might be the ground for regeneration.
