Till The Wheels Fall Off

In this episode, we’re getting real about complaining—why we do it, when it’s healthy, and when it becomes a trap that keeps us stuck. Complaining isn’t the enemy; sometimes, you need to let off steam and call out the frustration. But here’s the truth: if all you’re doing is talking about the problem without taking action, you’re just spinning your wheels.

We’ll dive into:

• The good side of complaining—how venting can clear your head and highlight what needs to change.
• The downside—how staying in a cycle of complaints keeps you powerless, drains your energy, and blinds you to solutions.
• The key question you need to ask yourself: “Am I releasing this, or am I living in it?”

Because complaining feels productive in the moment, but progress only happens when you’re ready to stop rocking in that chair and take a step forward.

“It’s okay to hate where you are. Just don’t plant roots there.”

Let’s talk about getting out of the complaining trap and back into action.
