Make It Happen

Episode Summary: What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t your circumstance—but your comparison? In this episode, I share a story about racing my young son—a moment that unexpectedly revealed how comparison can distort our vision and derail our growth. I unpack the dangers of comparison, the surprising results from my Leadership and Engagement study, and what PTSD studies taught me about the power of belief.  You'll hear why so many people feel stuck at a “5,” and what it really takes to build the emotional strength to move forward—regardless of what life throws your way. Whether you're a leader, a parent, or someone navigating burnout, this episode will challenge you to stop looking sideways and start investing in the one skill that matters most right now: resilience. Because you’re not in a race—you’re on a mission.   00:00 Stretch Capacity Story: Racing My Son 01:16 The Comparison Trap 03:06 What Leadership Research Reveals 05:39 The Danger of Measuring Against Others 07:13 The PTSD Insight That Changes Eve
