Most people quit right before something shifts.

Not because they’re weak — but because no one told them that the pressure always feels worst just before the change.

This episode is for anyone standing on that edge.

I’ll give you three grounded truths: – Why the breakdown happens – What not to do when it hits – And one step that can carry you through when nothing else will

This isn’t self-help. This is survival. And if this speaks to you, don’t keep it to yourself.

🎙️ My Mind First – Push the Positive. Drop the Negative. Not tomorrow. Now.
