Ever feel like healing is just… hard? In this episode, I dive deep into the messy, exhausting, and sometimes hilarious journey of self-growth. From over-caffeinated mornings to philosophical rabbit holes about science, string theory, and life’s illusions—I’m taking you along for the ride. I also reflect on inspiration, the power of words, and my ongoing mission to manifest a meeting with David Duchovny (it’s happening, just wait).

So grab a cup of coffee (maybe not on an empty stomach), and let’s talk about healing, writing, and why dust is God’s little joke on us.

Key Takeaways & Talking Points

➡ Healing is hard – and there’s no shortcut to skipping the painful parts.

➡ Writing is an emotional purge – it rips you open, but it’s part of the process.

➡ Caffeine & cortisol – why I waited until 9 AM for my first cup of coffee. (Thanks to Mel Robbin’s for telling me to try this!)

➡ Philosophy of the soul – are we all just free birds trapped in an optical illusion?

➡ Choose your hard – life, relationships, and healing all require effort.

➡ The power of words – how small comments can inspire life-changing decisions.

➡ Manifesting David Duchovny – because if I say it enough, it WILL happen.
