32. For The Days When It All Feels Like Too Much with Rachael Sardelich

In this deeply personal solo episode, I'm sharing something I rarely do, telling the raw, unfiltered truth about what it feels like when you're ready to collapse under the weight of your own creative path.

If you've ever felt like you want to pack it all in, melt into a puddle, or simply shut down because it all feels like too much, this episode is for you. I'm speaking directly to the visionary isolation we experience when carving our own path — that deep aloneness that exists even when we're surrounded by people, clients, and endless to-do lists.

I open up about hitting my own rock bottom, the exhaustion that comes from constantly planting seeds without seeing blooms, and that familiar cycle of giving and giving until there's nothing left. It's the kind of loneliness that comes with being a visionary of your own destiny, creating something meaningful and tender that hasn't been done before.

But this isn't just about the struggle — it's about the way back in. I share the three essential steps I use to replenish and return with a new trust and momentum.

This episode is my commitment to you — a reminder that you're not alone in this messy, chaotic, beautiful work of creating something meaningful in the world.

Often it's those moments that bring us to our knees when we reach the tipping point for the tide to change in our favour.
