Amanda in Depressive Episode | Homesickness, Self-Sabotage & Learning to Be Kind to Yourself

Amanda opens up about being in a depressive episode while living abroad and the quiet ways self-hatred can disguise itself as productivity, discipline, or “just trying harder.” From crying in her kitchen over holiday homesickness to unpacking why she has a visceral reaction when people tell her to “be kind to yourself,” this conversation explores the exhausting cycle of being mean to yourself while still desperately wanting to grow. She talks about: * Depression, burnout & emotional imbalance * Homesickness and feeling lost while living abroad * Self-sabotage disguised as self-improvement * Food, productivity, body image & negative self-talk * Why realizing something isn’t working is enough to begin changing your life * Learning German, building routine, and trying to reconnect with herself * The difference between not hating yourself… and actually loving yourself Amanda reflects on how she’s spent years motivating herself through criticism and fear, and what happens when you finally ask:“What if I got this far being mean to myself… imagine how far I could get being nice to myself?” Also one-sided beef with Rachel Sennott, Alex Cooper, and advice from a German teacher. Topics: depressive episode, burnout recovery, self-worth, emotional healing, living abroad loneliness, self sabotage, mental health, productivity guilt, self-love, homesickness, healing journey, expat life, negative self-talk.
