I’m giving “best self” a rest. Lately, it feels like everywhere I turn, someone is refining, optimizing, or reinventing themselves—and honestly, I’m exhausted by it. In this episode, I’m unpacking why the constant pursuit of better can turn into a never-ending loop of dissatisfaction. What if real growth isn’t about proving anything but simply allowing yourself to be present? Let’s talk about it.

221: Burnout Fix: The Missing Piece Beyond Rest
You’re resting, but you’re still exhausted. Why? Because rest stops exhaustion, but recovery restores you. In this episode, I break down the key difference between rest and recovery, why burnout isn’t just about doing too much but about not replenishing enough, and how to integrate true restoration into your life. If you’ve been feeling drained no matter how much you “rest,” this is for you. Let’s talk about how to shift from just pausing to actually rebuilding your energy, clarity, and resilience.

220: Love Isn’t a Hustle: Healing Unhealthy Relationship Cycles
I’m talking to Dr. Alexandra Solomon on this episode; one of my favorite voices on love and relationships. We’re talking about how our childhood shapes the way we love, why we’re drawn to certain relationship patterns, and what it really means to be relationally self-aware. Dr. Solomon breaks down emotional availability, the myths we believe about attraction, and why love isn’t something you fall into—it’s something you step into. This conversation is a must-listen if you want to approach relationships with more clarity, confidence, and intention.
