Before the breakdown. There was a job that slowly numbed me.

In this origin story episode, I take you back to the moment a job didn’t just exhaust me, it exposed me. The routine that hypnotized me into settling. That hallway I cleaned on autopilot while my own dreams collected dust. A quiet realization that I had spent years surviving instead of creating a life that actually felt like mine.

This episode isn’t about quitting your job tomorrow or chasing motivation hype. It’s about the dangerous numbness that creeps in when comfort replaces purpose, and the breaking point that forces you to finally see your life clearly. Sometimes the thing that breaks you is the same thing that wakes you up.

This episode is for working men and women who feel emotionally clocked out—
for anyone working the same shift on repeat, feeling invisible at work, or sitting in their car after a long day wondering how life became this routine.

This is a weekly show for working men and women that explores identity, purpose, money, and self-belief through real stories, grounded reflection, and lived experience. Hosted by Keishon Martin, each episode delivers perspective, emotional clarity, and truth for people trying to build a better life while still carrying real responsibilities.

This is The Job That Broke Me — And Woke Me Up—
the moment survival stopped being enough.
