Breaking Free from the Safety Trap

In this episode, I’m sharing a raw excerpt from Never Play It Safe and digging into how playing it safe nearly cost me everything. I’m talking about the times I abandoned my real passions—trading what I loved for the illusion of safety. From dropping art and soccer for “practical” careers, to walking away from a dream photography gig, these decisions came with some heavy consequences. But every setback taught me something and helped me get back on track. If you've ever felt the pressure to play it safe or second-guessed your dreams, you’ll relate to this one.

Some highlights we dig into:

• Why we give up on what we love for what’s “safe”

• The real cost of following someone else’s path

• How to course-correct when you’ve drifted from your true self

Enjoy!
