POD #00018 I Got Canned

Welcome back, friends!Let’s get into it — jobless and full of dreams.I’m looking for sustainability, balance, and honestly… just the energy to be a human again.I feel excited and free and starting a new chapter.But here’s the thing:A lot of what we’re taught about work and success?It’s a lie.“Work hard, follow the rules, find a career, be loyal… and you’ll be taken care of.”Nope. Not true.What actually matters?Luck. Privilege. Smart work. Who you know. Timing. Alignment.And maybe a little magic.So, backstory time:I thought this last job was “it.” My dream role. The one.And I was wrong.Worse — I didn’t even care that I lost it.But I’ve been sitting with that. And what keeps coming up is fear — fear of instability, failure, being seen as “lost.”And yet… here I am. Starting over. Again.This time, I’m moving with faith, not fear.I’m choosing alignment over hustle, empowerment over pleasing.And maybe — just maybe — that’s the most radical thing we can do. — Recorded September 7th, 2025
