In this episode, I share a moment that shook me and forced me to face how powerful (and risky) distraction can be. One call became a crossroads — a reminder that every moment, we’re choosing our direction. Presence or autopilot. Fear or awareness. Reaction or intention.

If you’ve ever drifted, gotten caught up in the moment, or forgotten how precious life is — this one’s a reminder to breathe, pay attention, and choose the path that leads to peace and purpose.

TL;DR

A real moment that reminded me how quickly distraction can lead us toward danger — or toward deeper clarity and intention.
