Ep 228 | The Only Way Is Through | How to Break Through When Nothing Is Working

There are seasons where you're working harder than ever… and nothing feels like it's working. I've lived that. Late nights, early mornings, pressure stacking up, and no clear way out.

What most people don't realize is that struggle doesn't mean you're failing - it often means you're getting close to a breakthrough. But effort without direction is just motion. That's why I use a simple framework: push, pull, or pivot.

Sometimes you have to push when it gets the hardest. Sometimes you need to pull back and reflect. And sometimes you need to pivot - not because you're quitting, but because you've outgrown the goal.

In this episode, I break down how reflection creates results, why systems matter more than goals, and how real progress is built when you keep showing up - even when the weight feels unbearable.

If you're feeling stuck, exhausted, or questioning whether what you're doing is worth it… this episode will give you clarity, direction, and the mental strength to keep going.

Key Topics:

• Why hard work without direction keeps you stuck
• The Push, Pull, Pivot framework for clarity
• How reflection creates real breakthroughs
• Why progress only exists on the other side of pain
