Send us Fan MailHave you ever been in the middle of something you chose — something you were genuinely excited about — and hit a wall so hard you wondered if you'd made a mistake? That moment has a name: the pit of despair. And in this episode, I make the case that reaching the pit isn't a sign to quit. It's actually proof that you're doing something that matters.Inspired by last week's conversation with Michelle Salerno about her IVF journey and the non-linear reality of any meaningful pursuit, I break down why the pit of despair shows up, why so many people lose themselves in it, and — most importantly — three practical ways to talk yourself through it and keep going.Because the middle is where the real work happens. And if you're in it right now, this episode is for you.The visual I mention will be posted on my instagram (@freshperspectivespod)
