816. How To Protect Your Peace While Still Having a Big Life

In this episode, K+L sit down with Victoria Garrick Browne, 2024 Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and host of Real Pod for a raw conversation on anxiety, ambition, and being human on the internet. They explore what it really looks like to honor your mental health while building a meaningful career. Ahead, Victoria opens up about developing emotional resilience, delegating without guilt, and creating boundaries that actually support her nervous system. The girls share friendship lessons, the discomfort of growth, and why rest is not a reward—it’s a relationship we must cultivate.  If you’ve been craving more spaciousness, more softness, or simply less pressure to “handle it all,” this episode will land. You’ll walk away with practices to regulate your anxiety, reconnect to your intuition, and redefine success on your own terms. Take a deep breath—let’s slow down together. We also talk about: The real impact of anticipatory anxiety + how to find peace in the present moment   Why high-achieving women struggle with delegation—and how to finally let go   Recognizing when “doing your best” is good enough versus chasing perfection   Reframing busyness + embracing spaciousness as a radical act of self-care   Lessons learned from athlete mentality: urgency, drive, and when to slow down   Navigating changing friendships + the bittersweet reality of growing up   Setting boundaries with family, friends, and even your phone for real mental wellness   Nostalgia, life transitions, and handling the heartbreak (and beauty) of getting older   The secret to filling your own cup without feeling selfish or losing connection   Resources: Website: https://www.victoriagarrickbrowne.com/ Instagram: @victoriagarrickbrowne Podcast: https://www.victoriagarrickbrowne.com/podcast Order our book, Almost 30: A Definitive Guide To A Life You Love For The Next Decade and Beyond, here: https://bit.ly/Almost30Book.  Sponsors: SKIMS | Shop my favorite bras and underwear at SKIMS.com/almost30.
