I used to cry on the drive to work and blame the traffic
Every morning, same route, eyes stinging by the second roundabout, telling myself it was the roadworks on the A35
It wasn’t the roadworks
It was a job that looked brilliant on paper and was quietly taking me apart and I got so good at smiling through it that nobody around me had any idea
I’d sit in meetings pinching the back of my hand under the table just to hold it together
I’m sharing this because I know I’m not the only one who’s done it, and if you’re reading this doing the same thing right now, I want you to know two things
You’re not failing
And you can come back from it I have, and I’ve watched plenty of others do it too, going from dreading every Monday to genuinely feeling proud of what they’ve built again
If that’s landing a bit too close to home, I’m running a free masterclass on the 24th about exactly this 💛 drop me a comment or a message and I’ll send you the details
