Not every friendship is forever, and that’s okay. This episode dives into why some people are just in our lives for a little while, and how regardless of the length of time, every connection still matters.

Fear will show up, it’s supposed to. Especially when you’re stepping into something meaningful, unfamiliar, or stretching yourself and skills in new ways. You’re scared because it matters to you! But just because you feel fear, it doesn’t mean it’s in charge. In this episode, we unpack how fear masks itself as “logic,” why it gets loud when you're close to something real, and what it actually looks like to move forward anyway. You don’t need to live a life absent of fear. You just need to move despite feeling it. Let's talk about it!

People always say, “Be kind to yourself.” But what if real self-kindness means holding yourself to high standards because you know you’re capable of more? In this episode, we’re flipping the script on self-criticism—learning how to use it as a tool for growth instead of a weapon for self-doubt. We’ll talk about why it’s a you vs. you game, the dangers of relying on external validation, and how successful people critique themselves not to tear themselves down, but to level up. Plus, I’ll break down how to analyze mistakes without losing confidence, why failure is just data, and how to create a self-critique system that actually helps you grow.
