The Contradiction Crisis: Doing It All While Feeling It All
from Genuine Girl · host Meredith Mistrot
In this episode, I’m talking about something I’ve recently come to call The Contradiction Crisis: the tension between being high-functioning and highly feeling. I open up about what it’s been like to appear “put together” while managing deeper challenges, and how hard it can be to hold both ambition and emotion at the same time.This is the most vulnerable I’ve ever gotten on the podcast, but I hope it reminds you that you’re not alone if you’re feeling mentally drained and still showing up every day. You don’t have to choose between being successful and being human.
