Planning used to work. Now it gets in the way. In this raw, practical episode, Nicole walks you through conscious collapse. Why letting go is not giving up. How identity dissonance shows up when you stop defining yourself by output. What research on post-traumatic growth suggests about capacity, creativity, and purpose after breakdown. Then we get tactical. Presence, ritualized rest, and grieving in public as strategic practices. Finally, we reframe strategy as resonance and look at real-world examples that chose coherence over scale.
Top takeaways• Surrender is an action, not an absence.• Your past success logic becomes today’s trap if the context shifted.• Rest is a ritual, not a reward.• Grief metabolized becomes creative fuel.• Strategy by resonance beats panic by priority.• Smaller, slower, saner can outperform bigger, faster, louder.
