A Fight Nobody Wants to Come Armed To

People love to say "that's not the hill I'm willing to die on." For me, there's always a hill. That's what happens when you're that convinced about the work you do. In this episode, Kim talks about what it feels like when the work you believe in gets called the soft stuff. The quiet kind of depletion that doesn't show up as a breakdown, just as small things that total up until you're sitting in your car asking why am I even doing this. What it costs to keep bringing the clear answer to people who won't move. And the question underneath all of it: how do you stay in the game without running yourself into the ground? Kim gets into: Why depletion is quiet, and why that makes it harder to catch What happens when your work is treated as a luxury instead of a necessity Why "pick your battles" doesn't work for people who can't stop caring Using your purpose to know when to push, when to stop, and when to pivot The difference between a hindrance and a circumstance, and why we confuse them when we're tired Five signs it's time to go, and two signs you just need rest If you've been carrying something nobody's helping you carry, this one's for you.
