Following what sets your soul on fire will cost you something—but staying stuck will cost you more. This episode offers an honest examination of what you'll sacrifice when you choose authenticity: relationships, security, comfort, certainty. But we also explore the hidden costs of NOT following your fire: your aliveness, your time, your self-respect, your one precious life. No sugarcoating, no romanticizing—just truth about both prices and why the courage tax is worth paying. This is your honest reckoning before the leap.
