Let’s get one thing straight: your basic biological needs—connection and belonging (to name a few) —were meant to give us security, not be the reasons why we struggle. But in a capitalist society shaped by patriarchy and competition, they’re not just distorted—they’re weaponized. In this episode, I’m breaking down how our daily lives become a psychological spreadsheet of trade-offs and compromises. Why we hustle on the "uneven playing field" to gain worth and do the "mindfuck math" to belong and just to stay afloat.

This isn’t a rant—it’s a reckoning. I’m naming the "uneven playing field", calling out the systems that keep us second-guessing. I am inviting you to flip the script on what it means to live, lead, and express yourself in a world that profits off our confusion.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing too much mental gymnastics just to feel whole —this one’s for you!
