Sometimes it needs a cleaner room. A better routine. A little more space. A structure strong enough to hold what comes next. ——————— Quote from the Episode: “Sometimes it takes wrecking yourself so that you check yourself so that you then know how you're showing up and then you can optimize what you're doing.” ——————— DESCRIPTION: What happens when life gets so full that everything starts piling up?
