You’ve Built the Dream—So Why Does It Still Feel Heavy with Bri McCarty
You’ve checked the boxes.
✅ Built the center.
✅ Hired the team.
✅ Filled the classrooms.
✅ Hit the revenue goals.
On paper, everything looks like a dream.
So why does it still feel… heavy?
In today’s conversation, I sit down with school owner Bri McCarty for a powerful and honest look at the evolution of leadership—from proving and performing to leading with peace, clarity, and purpose.
We explore what happens when you stop building from hustle and start building from alignment. When you stop being the hero and start creating a team that shares the vision. When you stop solving everyone’s problems and finally let yourself lead.
This episode is for the leader who’s done chasing worth through more enrollment, more expansion, more doing. You’ve built the dream. Now it’s time to build the life inside of it.
This conversation is your reminder that excellence doesn’t require doing more… it asks you to become more.
