• HOW TO BECOME A RISER
    Jan 21 2026

    Becoming a riser does not begin with confidence, clarity, or motivation. It begins with honesty.


    In this episode, I take you into the real beginning of the rise. Not the polished version. Not the inspiring after. I am talking about the private moment most people never speak on. The moment when you realize you have been shrinking, avoiding, settling, and living beneath who you really are.


    Here is what we explore together:


    • What shrinking actually looks like

    The quiet kind that shows up in everyday life.


    • When the rise truly begins

    How frustration, anger, and honesty create the spark for transformation.


    • The first small steps of becoming a riser

    Simple and practical moves that help you shift from shrinking to rising.


    • Real-life examples

    Moments where rising shows up in relationships, habits, standards, and self-belief.


    • Why becoming a riser is an identity shift

    Not something you inherit, but something you step into.


    If you have ever looked at your life and thought,

    “I am meant for more than this,”

    this episode will meet you exactly where you are. This is your turning point.


    Rising is not about perfection. It is about refusing to stay where the fall left you.


    Key Themes

    Identity work

    Personal transformation

    Emotional honesty

    Breaking patterns

    Inner belief

    The rise from setbacks
