PRETENDED FOR SIX MONTHS

from INCREDIBLY ANNOYING PODCAST Hosted by IAP

We all have a version of ourselves we show the world when everything inside is falling apart. The smile. The "I'm fine." The showing up. The performing. For 6 months, that was me. In this episode I am pulling back the curtain on the version of myself nobody saw. The one that was exhausted, overwhelmed and quietly unravelling while pretending everything was perfectly okay. I am talking about what triggered it, what it felt like to carry it alone, and most importantly what it actually cost me. My peace. My energy. My sense of self. This is not a motivational episode. This is not a glow up story. This is just the truth. Unfiltered. Unedited. Incredibly annoying in the best way. If you have ever smiled through something that was breaking you this episode is for you.
