You don’t realize how exhausted you are… until you finally get a chance to breathe.

In this episode of the Talkin’ Crazy Podcast, I reflect on burnout, recruiting duty, ego, purpose, and why sometimes being redirected is exactly what you need—even when it doesn’t feel like it at the time.

After spending time in California for the MEPS course, being back on a Marine Corps installation forced me to slow down, reset, and reflect. I open up about my first year on recruiting duty, getting pulled off the bag, the embarrassment of feeling benched, and why going back to the trenches was unfinished business I had to handle.

This episode is about:

• Burnout and mental exhaustion

• Ego, pride, and purpose

• Military recruiting duty realities

• Redirection vs failure

• Why you shouldn’t quit while you’re losing

• Ending the year with clarity and perspective

If you’re closing out the year tired, frustrated, or questioning your direction—this episode is for you.

Sometimes the detour isn’t a setback.

Sometimes it’s the plan.
