Prefer YouTube?About the PodcastFor the overthinkers, the deep feelers, and the women who’ve been told they’re “too much” — welcome. Every Tuesday, join host Alessia Maria — a neuroscience and economics undergrad — for unfiltered conversations about the messy, beautiful process of figuring yourself out. We ask the hard questions: Who are you without the pressure to be likable? Why do we shrink ourselves to fit in? Can softness be strength? This podcast isn’t a step-by-step guide to fix your life. It’s one that holds space for you to understand it. Expect solo chats and honest takes that challenge what you’ve been taught — all made to feel like a chat with a friend over coffee. Life is messy, and I’m here to share it with you.
