CC: Hi, I'm Eryn + I am so glad you're here! Are you ready to Break Up with Better? We've all been there. Convinced we want or need to be a "better" version of ourselves... better job, better hair, better skin... a "better" life. Since the global pandemic happened, I’ve been unpacking and unlearning a lot of the harm that “hustle culture” and “toxic-positivity” have caused me. I want to help you break up with hustle culture, step outside of toxic-positivity and reconnect with the things you actually want to be doing. Follow along with me as we learn how to be kind and compassionate towards ourselves and approach our daily life with non-judgement and curiosity. I'll share my own experiences, conversations and interviews, tips and actionable steps you can implement right now. Join me every week as we rip off the bandaid and break up with our need to be better. We are already more than good enough right now.
