This week, I get into some of the real stuff—talking about comedy, mental health, and why it’s so important to feel safe when you’re sharing your story (especially when half your brain is screaming, "Why are we doing this again?").

I dig into setting boundaries, managing your energy without feeling like you’re letting everyone down, and how the Spoon Theory basically describes my Tuesday mornings. We also talked about why it’s important to find the givers in your life—the people who fill you up instead of draining you like Todd the Energy Vampire.

There’s some stuff about self-care, permission to take breaks (you don’t have to win every day), and how real connection can actually depressurize a lot of the noise we carry around. Also, I share one of my favorite ways to set myself up for a successful show on the day of.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re running on one spoon and a prayer, or like you’re supposed to be "crushing it" when you barely have the energy to return a text… this one’s for you.
