Episode 2: Are You an Overachiever or Are You on Autopilot?

I’ve always been the overachiever..The one who did everything “right.” I followed the rules, built the career, and did what generations before us said would guarantee success. But lately, I’ve been asking myself… what was the point? Somewhere along the way, all that drive turned into autopilot, and I lost touch with why I started doing any of it in the first place.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it’s looked like to unlearn the idea that productivity equals worth, and what I’ve discovered about slowing down, finding joy in simply creating, and freeing myself from the need to be understood. It’s about taking accountability without carrying shame, and learning that presence is more powerful than perfection ever was.

✨ In this episode, I talk about:

• The pressure to perform and how it becomes identity

• Why doing everything “right” can still leave you feeling lost

• Taking ownership of your story without letting it define you

• Letting go of the need to be understood by everyone

• What happens when you finally stop running on autopilot
