Description: You can have a good life on paper… and still feel disconnected inside. In this raw and honest solo episode, Kelly Siegel breaks down one of the most dangerous places a person can live: “I’m fine.” Not broken. Not failing. Just quietly misaligned. Kelly unpacks why high performers often ignore the warning signs like exhaustion, numbness, and loss of joy and how staying comfortable slowly erodes your truth, your peace, and your identity. This episode isn’t about motivation. It’s about honesty. Because peace doesn’t come from rest or success. It comes from alignment.
