What if it isn’t a willpower problem?

What hitting 10K followers taught me - my journey to find balance as a content creator

Hitting a follower milestone on Instagram felt surreal…and strangely unchanged at the same time. In this episode, I unpack my love-hate relationship with Instagram, the burnout, the breakthrough and the boundaries that sustain my system now. If you’re building something online (or just stay sane while scrolling), this one’s for you :) As always, thank you for being here in this season with me!!

The pressure to “arrive” in your 20s

If you’re in this season of your twenties then welcome to the “best years of your life” or “the defining decade” These are the years to find who you are, make big life decisions, travel, work, date, marry, make friends, get promoted and above all else; no regrets !! How does that make sense? This is our first time living, and in this world that insists we listen to every voice, all at once, we’re going to mess up - I can tell you that for free. But why is it like this? And more importantly, what can we do about this? As with anything, I don’t have all the answers, I’m also a newbie adult in my 20s. But I know I’m not alone. Thank you for being here and tuning in :)

What if it isn’t a willpower problem?

Have you ever woken up in the morning after going to bed so pumped and ready to tackle the next day, only this morning you’ve woken up with 0 motivation? Yesterday you crushed your to do list and more and today you struggle to get yourself to take a shower. Have you had that before? If that’s you, then this episode is going to break down a fundamental part of our health; something that affects everything, from our concentration, memory and sleep, to our confidence and weight. And it’s something that only recently experts have been digging into. Personally, I have experienced a diagnosis that led me to researching this topic full on, so I can understand how our hormones work and why, it isn’t necessarily a willpower problem …

Help! I’m having an identity crisis!

Identity. Something we’ve heard countless times before but do we know what happens when this becomes unstable? It’s a feeling we’ve certainly all experienced at some point, so why does no one talk about it!? In this episode, I chat openly about my identity crisis and give some insight into this common yet taboo situation of uprooting yourself and how you think you are supposed to process transition. And the one thing that separates this talk from others on identity is that the identity crisis isn’t this loud change where the main character quits their job, moves to an island or cuts bangs (I’m a supporter of this decision!). Rather, it’s the quiet moment when you wake up and realize you’re not feeling “at home” in your body or mind anymore. And no one talks about that moment…except this podcast 🙌🏼 Thank you for being here! Let me know any thoughts in the comments

Why stillness feels so uncomfortable

We’re no strangers to hustle culture. The grind, the work ethic, the late nights and “Founders Journeys” are everywhere and while they can be very motivating, they are also promoting a dangerous identity based in work. In this raw and vulnerable episode, we’ll be discussing some struggles with the concept of rest as well as 2 structures that have helped me rest efficiently. Rest ≠ laziness Work ≠ worth These are some thoughts straight from the mind of an overachiever and people pleaser who knows rest is essential but struggles to do it nonetheless. Thank you for being here :)
