Unmasked: Start Living a Life Full of Joy

This podcast is not medical advice or expert guidance. I'm no guru or therapist (yet). I'm just a person in the middle of my own healing journey, sharing realizations, questions, and shifts that are helping me reconnect with myself. Growing up around childhood trauma and a parent struggling with severe emotional dysregulation shaped the way I moved through the world for a long time. This is a space for honest conversations, realizations, reflections about healing, rejecting performative living, and creating a life that genuinely feels joyful to live.Messy, evolving, thoughtful, real

    The Jealousy Episode: Surviving Social Media and Comparison Culture

    In this episode I’m talking about my struggle with social media comparison, jealousy, and the quiet nervous system exhaustion that comes from constantly feeling we should be we should be doing “better” or more. From Pinterest homes to bikini pics, I talk about how I reframed my anxious thoughts through radical self acceptance and taking care of my mental health. This episode is about comparison culture, self love, nervous system overwhelm, and learning how to admire others without abandoning yourself in the process

    The Missing Piece of “LIVING IN AWE”

    I’ve been seeing social media content talking about “living in awe” and it encourages a lot of admiring sunsets, coffee, touching grass, but I feel like where it’s missing the mark is that YOU are apart of the beauty and awe of this world ❤️

    HOBBIES ARE OVERRATED: You don’t need MORE hobbies you need SELF AWARENESS

    This episode is not anti-hobby! It's about rejecting perfomative hobbies done for external validation and reconnecting with what you genuinely enjoy. I think in today's world social media can blur the line between genuine enjoyment and curating an identity in hopes of gaining approval. Get your notebooks ready, today’s activity is getting to know yourself and living with radical acceptance of who you are.
