Ep 3: On Finally Saying “I Can’t Do It Anymore”

“I just can’t do it anymore.”

The moment those words left my mouth, I felt relief and panic at the same time.

For years, my business had been built around being the go-to person for transformational program and curriculum design. Letting that identity and body of work go felt unthinkable. But staying attached to it felt even worse.

In this episode of The Midnight Edit, I share what it actually looked like to admit something was complete, and how I began evolving my work without rushing clarity or forcing a clean break.

Inside this episode:

• How I knew it was time to retire one of my core offers
• The deeper intersection of strategy and self-expression my work is moving toward
• Why this shift felt inevitable and, honestly, a little cosmic
• The real, non-Instagram-perfect timeline of making big changes in your body of work

If you’ve been feeling the pull toward something bigger but are afraid of what you might lose in the process, consider this your permission slip to explore it.
