Are you really enjoying the moment—or just trying to make it look good for Instagram?We’ve all been there: lighting the candle, pouring the coffee, arranging the throw blanket just so… and then feeling like something is still missing.

In this episode, I’m unpacking the difference between intentionally savoring your life and performing it. We’ll talk about why the aesthetic life doesn’t always equal a fulfilling one, and how to shift from escaping your reality to actually living it—with presence, joy, and way less pressure.

Spoiler: you don’t need to prove anything. You just get to be.

🪞 Reflection Questions:

* When was the last time I felt truly present and content—with no desire to document it?

* What parts of my life am I trying to make look better instead of feel better?

* What would change if I let go of the pressure to “make it look perfect”?

Want to stop performing and start living?

I’ve got a few 1:1 coaching spots open this summer inside Love Your Life, my private coaching experience for women who are ready to slow down, simplify, and finally feel good in the life they’re living.

Together, we’ll clear the noise, make space for what matters, and help you reconnect with the version of yourself who doesn’t need to prove or post her way to worthiness.
