18: No One Has Their Sh*t Together (and That’s Okay)


Listen Later

No one has their sh*t together — not your boss, not the perfect mum at school pick-up, and definitely not this psychologist with a podcast.

In this episode, I talk about why we all fall into the trap of thinking everyone else is doing better, how comparison steals our peace, and what it actually means to be “together enough.” I also share a study (Jordan et al., 2011, Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin) that shows we consistently underestimate how often other people feel negative emotions — which is why it can look like they’ve got it all figured out when they really don’t.

I’ll walk you through:
  • Why chasing perfection won’t make you safer or happier.
  • How to work with your natural rhythms instead of against them.
  • The small, practical things that really help when life feels messy.
  • This one’s for you if you’ve ever looked around and thought, “Is it just me?” — it’s not. Nobody has their sh*t together all the time, and you don’t need to either.

    🎧 Tune in while you walk, breathe, or just take a minute for yourself.
