Your Friend in the Head
EP 7: Stop Forcing It: Signs You’re Out of Alignment In Work, Love, and Life
28 Oct 2025
This episode came from a quote that hit me hard — “It doesn’t matter how tall your ladder is if you’re climbing the wrong building.”And honestly, that’s been me more times than I’d like to admit.Pushing, grinding, forcing things that deep down didn’t feel right, thinking effort alone would get me closer to happiness. But the truth is, effort without alignment is a waste of energy.In this episode, I talk about what it really means to be out of alignment - in your job, your relationships, your body goals, and even the friendships you keep. I share the signs I ignored for way too long, and how every time I finally trusted my gut (even when it scared the hell out of me), it led to something better.If you’ve been working your ass off but still feel stuck, this is your reminder to pause. To ask yourself the hard questions. To stop forcing what’s not meant for you and start listening to what is.Sometimes you have to burn the wrong building down to build the right one. Hosted on Acast.
