You built the 6-figure business. So why do you now want out?

from Sink and Swim · host Julie Granger

You did everything right. The credentials, the business, the team, the referrals. And now you're sitting in the parking lot before work, not tired, not late — just unable to make yourself go in.In this solo episode, Julie tells the story of Marjorie — a composite of the clients she's walked alongside who hit this exact wall. PT, business owner, fully booked, deeply respected. And quietly falling apart on the inside.What unfolds isn't a roadmap or a pep talk. It's an honest look at what it actually costs to keep following a map someone else designed for you — and what's really missing for the high-achieving women who can't seem to move from the life they've outgrown into the one that's pulling them. Spoiler: it's not a new certification. It's not better boundaries. And it's definitely not more progesterone.00:01 — Meet Marjorie (why Julie tells composite stories — and who this one is really about)02:21 — She Had It All and Still Sat in the Parking Lot (the voice that started quietly and got impossible to ignore)06:22 — Everything She Tried to Make It Stop (supplements, sabbaticals, yoga, dog walks — and why none of it touched the voice)08:17 — When Resentment Moves In (watching the clock, dreading sick calls, and the guilt that comes with both)27:26 — What She Finally Said Out Loud (the Soul Story Mapping session, and the thing Julie didn't see coming)34:40 — Surrounded by People and Completely Alone (the relational reckoning, and the co-regulatory nutrient nobody talks about)51:34 — The Three Things Actually Keeping Her Stuck (co-regulation, financial safety, and learning to follow your own compass)If this episode speaks to you, hit subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend👉Looking for more of where this came from? Sink deeper with coaching support from Julie and Book a Soul Story Mapping SessionKeep up with what's going on by joining the Notes from a Fart Walk Newsletter and don't miss an episode or updateWatch full video episodes and clips on YoutubeSocial Media: Follow Julie for clips, bonus content, and updates throughout the week.
