Episode 2: Feeling Uncomfortable Won't Kill You (I Checked)
Alternative title: The Buffet Is Open (and Jeffrey's Not Invited)
In this episode of Home to Me, we go back to the why. Why does self-trust matter so deeply? Why do defensiveness, insecurity, and people-pleasing steal so much from us? Through a story of meetings, metaphors, and missed ETF lessons, therapist and host Steph unpacks what it really means to come home to yourself — and how being liked, or not, has shaped so much of what we do. You'll walk away with a grounded sense of why self-trust is the foundation of inner freedom, plus a powerful exercise to uncover what's really driving your discomfort. It's tender, funny, and real. You're in the right place. Welcome Home

-
A before-and-after story of meetings, self-doubt, and reclaiming your attention
-
Why discomfort can feel like danger — and how to tell the difference
-
A metaphorical buffet vs. a metaphorical spotlight: which one are you living under?
