About this episode
You start something new—and it feels wrong.
Not clearly wrong. Just… off.
In this episode, I break down why that happens and why it’s not a signal to quit—but a signal to stay.
Your nervous system is still calibrated to your old environment. And if you’re not careful, you’ll try to reshape your new life to match the one you left.
We talk about:
- Why your instincts are unreliable during change
- The Stoic idea of controlling your response, not your first reaction
- When to stay vs. when to leave
- The 30-day rule for letting a new environment reveal itself
If you’re in a new role, a new relationship, or a new phase of life—and something feels off—this one’s for you.
