236: An episode dedicated to my *fellow* overthinkers. I'm sharing advice I've been needing lately on: why we overthink, examples of when we're assuming & catastrophizing instead of gathering facts, and tangible ways to stop spiraling. The goal? To stay calmer and realize that an unanswered text does not mean we're in danger. To learn how to self-regulate, self-soothe, and trust ourse

In this episode, we're diving into the most powerful lessons from The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest (our March book club pick!)— all about why we self-sabotage, how to recognize when we’re playing small, and what it really means to glow up from the inside out.

how to be unbothered as f*ck
232: Welcome to part one of our new *mini series* on: how to become unbothered as f*ck. In today's episode, I'm sharing my personal definition of what it means to be unbothered (as well as what it doesn't mean) and I'm assigning you a little bit of homework before we get into part two.
