🎙️ Thick of It: Why Pressure Doesn’t Mean You’re Failing 👻

You know that feeling when everything’s piling up, your to-do list is giving you side-eye, and you’re one minor inconvenience away from googling “jobs that require zero responsibility”? Same.

But here’s the thing: pressure doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re in the thick of it—figuring things out, one messy step at a time.

In this episode, I’m chatting about:
⚡ Why stress makes you question everything (even when you’re crushing it)
🍕 How to shift into "bare minimum mode" without burning it all down
😂 Why crying over a Google Doc was my personal rock bottom
🙌 And why pressure usually shows up when you’re actually winning

Also—quick disclaimer—I’m not shutting down Creative Ghost or questioning my skills. I’m just keeping it real about the chaos that comes with doing work you care about.

So, if you’re drowning in deadlines and feeling like you might be the problem—you’re not. You’re just in the thick of it. Breathe. Pivot. Keep going.

Let’s creep it real, friends. 🎙️👻

💀 From Frontline to Flatline: Why Constant Stress Destroys Self-Trust 💀

Ever find yourself replaying every decision you made after a stressful situation, wondering if you handled it right—even when the answer should be obvious? Same.

In this episode of Ghost Grind: Haunted by the Hustle, I’m diving into what happens when life keeps pushing, and exhaustion turns into self-doubt. From juggling single parenthood and business ownership to throwing myself in front of a literal moving car during a hit-and-run attempt (yeah, that happened), I’m breaking down why high-stress environments warp your judgment and leave you questioning yourself long after the dust settles.

Here’s what we’ll unpack:
⚔️ Why exhaustion makes you doubt even your best decisions.
🕰️ How “chaos tolerance” becomes both a survival skill and a personal trap.
💔 The emotional aftermath of constantly being the problem-solver.
⚖️ How to push through without sacrificing your sanity—or your self-worth.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re holding everything together while quietly falling apart, this one’s for you.

👉 Tune in, take what you need, and—most importantly—give yourself a damn break. You’re handling more than most, and you’re doing better than you think.
