Calm AF

Stop Fixing Yourself: You're Not a Project.


Listen Later

In today's episode of Calm AF, we're diving deep into one of the most harmful modern mindsets: the belief that you have to fix yourself before you can enjoy your life. If you've ever felt like you need to check off a to-do list before you're allowed to relax or be happy — this episode is your reminder to stop fixing yourself to be happy.

Inspired by a love letter from my private podcast, this "spiel" explores why you don't need to earn joy, peace, or worthiness. You're not a project — you're a human being living a once-in-a-lifetime experience. And that means you deserve to love your life right now, not after the next goal, hack, or habit tracker.

🧠 What You'll Learn:
  • Why constant self-improvement can actually keep you stuck

  • The difference between desire-based transformation and shame-driven change

  • How to stop treating your life like a never-ending project

  • The truth about the to-do list that never ends

  • How to actually enjoy your life — while still growing and evolving
