Let’s get real for a minute...if you’re someone who constantly feels like you need to do more, be more, check more boxes—this one’s for you.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on something I don’t think we talk about enough: how list-making and over-planning become a crutch…a way we try to cope with deeper stuff we don’t want to face.
I dive into my own journey with hustle culture, navigating chronic illness, and the deep-rooted need for control that kept me stuck in cycles I didn’t even realize I was in. We’ll talk about why creating a symptom timeline was a game changer, and how understanding your patterns can lead to real, sustainable healing.
This isn’t about shaming your coping mechanisms—this is about getting honest. It’s about learning to sit with the hard feelings instead of avoiding them. Because growth doesn’t come from checking boxes. It comes from getting in tune with yourself.
Let’s go deep, let’s get messy, and let’s actually heal.
