If you’ve ever been called the strong one…
If you’ve ever done everything right and still felt empty…
This isn’t just another episode—it’s your permission slip to stop performing and start feeling again.
On this soul-shifting episode of Attention is the Currency, we sit down with DJ Dickerson-Alejandrino, founder of Pleasure Led Life, a man who walked away from medical school and a life built on status—to choose truth, presence, and freedom.
And now? He’s guiding high performers out of burnout and back into their bodies.
The Big Shift: From Pressure to Presence
DJ doesn’t teach people to hustle harder—he teaches them to feel again.
To trade overthinking for embodiment.
To stop achieving just to prove worth—and start living from purpose instead of pressure.
Whether you’re a high-performing entrepreneur, a recovering people-pleaser, or someone silently suffocating in success…
this conversation will wake you up in the best way.
