When Life Doesn't Go To Plan: Finding Resilience After The Breaking Point | Episode 568

Life can change in a snap, and not always in the ways we would choose. We sit with the uncomfortable truth that things do not go as planned, then ask the bigger question hiding underneath it: if the hard parts never happened, would we still be who we are today? Justin shares a raw, personal reflection on resilience, grief, and the moments that force us to look at our lives with fresh eyes.

We talk candidly about mental health, including what it feels like to hit a wall and wonder how you will get through today, not just the next month. Justin connects his 2017 mental health crash to the deeper purpose behind Voices for Voices, and why asking for help through therapy, group support, and honest conversations can be the turning point. We also dig into workplace burnout, toxic bosses, and the “engine out of gas” reality of pushing yourself past your limits until something breaks.

The takeaway is not perfection or positivity, but perspective and practical care: take inventory of where you are, stop carrying everything in your head, and be kinder to yourself while you rebuild. If you need a grounded mental health reminder that you are not alone, this is for you.
