"For Now, I'm Stepping Back"After more than three seasons, and 83 episodes, In The Blood is going on pause.This isn’t burnout. It’s not a breakdown. It’s something quieter. Something slower. A shift from pressure back to purpose.In this episode, I talk about why continuing no longer feels right, how I’ve come to recognise the difference between momentum and meaning, and what happens when we outgrow the very container that helped us grow in the first place.This show has been a space for honest reflection - for challenging emotional limits, holding hard truths, and exploring what it means to stay human in the middle of pain, loss, and transformation. I hope those conversations still serve you, even as I step away from the mic for a while.I haven’t disappeared. I’m still here. Just not in this form.Episodes will remain up.

Current Episode
Loyalty or Ego?Loyalty can be meaningful when it’s mutual and based on care and consistency. But too often, people stay loyal to what no longer serves them, not because it still makes sense, but because they don’t want to admit they were wrong.In this episode of Call Me Tony, I look at the difference between earned loyalty and loyalty that’s really just fear or ego in disguise. I talk about how people justify staying in one-sided relationships using weak logic and shallow reasoning, and why I no longer respect that kind of loyalty.This isn’t about giving up easily. It’s about knowing when it’s time to stop making excuses.🎧 Listen nowWatch on YouTubeEpisode is available on major platforms or by clicking here
