It's Not You, It's Me

from The Five Year Plan · host Anna Zhang

In this episode, Anna dives into the invisible limits we place on our own lives—the stories we tell ourselves about who we are, what we deserve, and how we’re perceived. And how those stories end up shaping everything. Because maybe the person preventing us from achieving what we all want is not "you," but "me" after all.
