You go away for a long weekend and by Saturday lunchtime your phone has filled up with messages that all need you, three of them decisions nobody else can make and one a small fire someone is waiting for you to put out.

One week before this recording, Tina Forsyth walked away from a 17-year business. Not because she was burned out or even forced out. She exited of her own free will.

If you met Christine Kloser years ago, you’d have never known what she was hiding. After all, she’d get on stage during her own events and led the dance breaks. One arm would be up in the air, but the other? Held still at her side. She’d take Advil before she walked out, having perfected the art of managing the performance.

Three coffees before noon. No proper lunch. Messages coming in at 9pm that you answer because not answering feels worse. You push through because you always push through. Stopping feels like falling behind. Falling behind feels like failure.

The dinner was in the early 1990s. A man assaulted her in public, in front of other people. The next day, her female boss called her in. "I was given praise for not complaining about a sexual assault at a dinner in front of other people." She was angry. She knew the reality: nothing could be done. So she carried it and moved on, because it was the only option available to her at the time.

There’s a particular kind of danger that comes with success. Not the usual kind like missed deadlines, lost clients, or the cash flow hiccup. This danger is quieter. It sneaks in when everything is humming along nicely. When the numbers are good, your team is running smoothly, and for a fleeting moment, you feel like you’ve got this entrepreneurship thing figured out.

There’s a season most people skip over. It sits between the version of yourself you’ve outgrown and the one you’re becoming. Your old patterns don't work anymore, your new ones aren’t quite ready, and nothing feels solid. It’s awkward. Confusing. Sometimes hilarious in hindsight.

It's the kind where you wake up at 4:30 in the morning, not because you're excited about the day ahead, but because there's so much work to be done for everyone else. Where your children are required to stand silent and still for an hour while you pray they don't fidget. Where asking questions feels dangerous, and dreaming feels like betrayal.
