Are you your own worst enemy?

This week, let's confront an enemy many of us deal with: ourselves. If you find yourself stuck in a pattern of perfectionism, second-guessing your work, or feeling unsatisfied no matter what you accomplish, you're definitely not alone, and this episode is for you. I'm taking a closer look at how we sometimes pile pressure on ourselves, whether that's thanks to our inner critic, tying our self-worth to how much we get done, or just moving the goalposts on what "success" even means—but this isn't about stacking on more guilt. I want to call out these patterns and talk about practical ways we can be kinder to ourselves, get out of burnout mode, and enjoy our wins. Join me to find out how self-compassion can create greater energy, creativity, and true fulfillment for you, and how to become your own biggest supporter before you write your next brilliant chapter.
