From PIP to Promotion: The Brutal Price of Quick Success

How I went from “one step from fired” to promoted in six months—and why it almost cost me everything that mattered.

In this episode of Perfection Hangover, I share the real story of how I went from a performance improvement plan at work to a promotion in just six months—and the brutal price I paid for that quick success.

I’ll take you behind the scenes of my divorce, selling the house I thought I’d keep forever, a failed move into sales, and the moment I was told I had 90 days to “get it together” or lose my job. Then I’ll tell you how I turned things around, got promoted, and quietly burned myself out trying to be the fixer for everyone.

If you’ve ever looked like you were winning on paper while your nervous system, family, and purpose were quietly on fire, this one’s for you.
