I am a "try hard"

from Forget What I Said · host Marina Wilson

In this episode, I dive deep into my raw and honest struggle of constantly feeling like a "try-hard." I’ve spent so much time pushing myself to be perfect, overcompensating, and hustling relentlessly, but it hasn't always been healthy. In this episode, I share the realizations I've had about why I’ve been caught in this cycle and how it’s affected my well-being. But it’s not just about venting — I also talk about how I’m learning to let go of this toxic mindset, embrace imperfection, and be kinder to myself. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing too much to feel enough, this episode is for you. Let's get vulnerable together and explore how we can move from trying too hard to just being enough as we are.
