Have you ever hit a point where you've been pouring your heart into something—a project, a dream, your calling—and now you find yourself wondering… Is this still worth it? Am I even on the right path anymore? Hitting this wall is almost like a rite of passage in the pursuit of what matters to your heart. Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love, wrote consistenly for 20 years before she "made it" with the famous book. In her book, Big Magic, she she talks about eating "shit sandwiches" as her measure for whether or not she wanted to keep devoting herself to writing. This episode is your gut check for those moments of doubt and fear, especially when the road feels long and the results aren't showing up as quickly as you hoped. To be clear, this is not about cheerleading you to keep going, because that's not always the most aligned path! I'll share two clear questions you can ask yourself whenever you feel stuck between quitting and continuing. These questions will help you get honest with yourself, reconnect to your "why," and see whether it's time to keep going, change directions, or let something go with peace. Whether you're chasing a big dream, nurturing a creative project, or simply trying to stay aligned with what lights you up, this conversation will help you cut through the overthinking and find clarity on your next step. Let's figure out if what you're working on is truly right for you—or if it's time to shift your energy toward something new.
