My first episode ever! This was 4 years in the making. I wanted to share a bit of my personal story and what came up surprised me-- it was about how I used to be an over achiever and how that came to a pinnacle when I was 23, breaking down in tears after I "achieved" everything I thought I was supposed to.

I talk a lot about being a "great student," and while that might seem admirable from the outside, it was actually a manifestation of me living up to external expectations.

If anything in this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you.✨ DM me at @rebeccastateofmind on IG.
