For many high performers, the ultimate trap is tying their entire identity and self-worth to their daily accomplishments. Former Division 1 track athlete, current BJJ Brown Belt, and high school wrestling coach Maiah Yankello knows exactly how destructive that fragile identity can be when life forces you to pivot. In this episode, Maiah opens up about her terrifying, exhilarating decision to walk away from a secure six-year corporate IT career with zero backup plan, relying completely on her faith to guide her transition into full-time entrepreneurship. We dive into the grit required to unlearn toxic self-expectations, why we must treat our failures as emotionless data points, and the immense discipline required to give yourself grace. This is a raw conversation about breaking free from the corporate safety net, rebuilding your internal programming, and stepping boldly into the unknown.
Real people. Real stories. Real f**king life.
