Episode Description

You're six months into something. It's 2 a.m. You're staring at the ceiling thinking, what was I thinking?

Nobody forced you. You said yes. Sometimes you even saw it coming and did it anyway.

Today we're digging into what I call the what-was-I-thinking goal. Why smart people say yes to the wrong things, why we stay too long once we start, and the simple checks you can run before your next yes. Feel the middle, not the finish. Set your exit point before you begin. Your future self will thank you.
