Rock bottom like it's just a really bad season. Like if things get hard enough for long enough, that qualifies. But there's a difference between a rough stretch and the floor — and most people don't know which one they're standing on until they've been on both.

In this episode, I'm talking about what rock bottom actually feels like from the inside. Not the version that gets cleaned up for the transformation post. The real version — the scared, quiet, stripped-down version where there's nothing left to perform for. I'm also talking about bad luck because it's real and deserves its own honest conversation. The two things feel similar in the moment. They're not. And knowing the difference changes what you do next.

This one comes from personal experience. The kind you don't volunteer in most conversations. If you've ever wondered whether you're going through something or going through something — this episode is for you.
