Confessions of a Lost Soul

Confession #022: When Your Bedroom Is Your Only Sanctuary

In this episode of Confessions of a Lost Soul, I talk about the emotional reality of living with family when it is not fully by choice. The gratitude, the frustration, the lack of privacy, the bedroom-as-your-only-sanctuary feeling, and the quiet shame of wanting independence but not being able to fully afford it yet. This is not about blaming parents. It is about being honest that support can be a gift and still feel emotionally hard. No perfection. No pretending. Just real talk about adulthood, money, independence, and wanting a life that feels like your own.

Confession #021: I Don’t Know How to Rest Anymore

This week I officially graduated with my master’s degree — something I’ve been working toward for over six years. In this episode of Confessions of a Lost Soul, I talk about the long road from working in finance and feeling unhappy, to going back to school, becoming a nurse, and working toward becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I share the late nights, the studying, the pressure, and what it felt like to have school become “job number two” after work ended. But this episode is also about what happens after you reach the goal. The pride, the fulfillment, the “now what?” feeling, and the weird guilt of finally being able to rest. No perfection. No pretending. Just the messy middle of achievement, identity, and learning that rest is not laziness.

Confession #020: There Is No “Right” Decision

How do you know if you’re making the right decision? In this episode of Confessions of a Lost Soul, I talk about spending a week stuck between two choices — moving to San Diego or Los Angeles — and the pressure to choose the “perfect” path. This is a real conversation about overthinking, indecision, and the fear of regret. What I’ve started to realize is that there is no perfect decision — only different experiences. And sometimes, what matters most isn’t the place… it’s the people. “A beautiful place isn’t paradise if you’re lonely… and an ordinary place can feel magical when you have your people.”

Confession #019: I’m Trying to Become a Morning Person

What if the way you start your day changes how you experience your life? In this episode of Confessions of a Lost Soul, I talk about trying to become a morning person — not perfectly, but intentionally. From rushed mornings to slow starts on the beach, this is a real conversation about how environment, presence, and small shifts in routine can impact your mental health more than you think. No perfection. No pretending. Just figuring it out — one morning at a time.

Confession #018: Why Do We Lose Motivation So Fast?

Why is it so easy to feel motivated at the start… and so hard to keep going? In this episode of Confessions of a Lost Soul, we talk about the reality of motivation — why it fades, why consistency feels boring, and why the hardest part of growth isn’t starting… it’s continuing. This conversation explores our relationship with boredom, the psychology behind motivation, and what it actually takes to keep showing up when the excitement wears off. No perfection. No pretending. Just real talk about discipline, consistency, and the messy middle of building something that matters.
