What does it actually mean to be good enough? It's something we battle with and hear constantly, but when I sat back with that concept I realized I didn't even really know what that meant to be "good enough". What I did know is I allowed the constant need to feel good enough to play too much of a negative role in who I was and how I was showing up in my life. In order to make any progress on a certain area we first need to understand what it is, where it came from and why it's happening. That is what we are covering in this week's episode. I break down all of the areas we have been exposed to throughout our lives that have contributed to our feelings of not enoughness and the psychology that plays into the topics. I cover self esteem vs self worth, perfectionism, and research from child psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott. And of course we discuss how to flip the question of "am I good enough?" to something that stops us from constantly auditioning for worth. If you've ever wondered when you'll finally feel you're enough, this conversation is for you.

Living alone (or just being alone) comes with both freedom and frustration. In this episode I explore the good -- the grounding, the independence, the chance to build a life on your own terms -- and the bad --the boredom, the lonliness, the temptation to fill every quiet space with distractions. Then we'll dive deeper into the real question: are you using this time alone to connect with yourself, or just waiting for it to be over? Because if you don't learn how to befriend yourself now you'll risk abandoning yourself the second someone else walks into your life.

On Wellish, we’re not here to blindly follow every self-improvement trend — we’re here to question them. This week, I’m diving into TikTok’s newest obsession: monthly curriculums.

Are they a genius way to learn, grow, and add structure to your life — or just another self-optimization spiral dressed up as self-care? I’ll break down what the trend is, who it’s for, and why people love it… but also where it can go wrong.

I’ll share how I’ve been running my own journalism curriculum (and the surprising ways it’s boosted my confidence and creativity), and most importantly: how to keep this trend Wellish approved. No grades. No pressure. Just curiosity, growth, and the freedom to make it your own.

You don’t have to hustle yourself into the ground to create the life you want—but you also can’t just wait for it to magically fall into your lap. In this episode, we're exploring the sweet spot between toxic productivity and hopeless surrender, and how to close the gap between your current self and your dream self without burnout or perfectionism.

We’ll break down the psychology behind why we get stuck (hello, learned helplessness), the nervous system science that explains why more motivation isn't the answer, and the identity shifts that make change stick. From identifying what stage of change you're currently at to expanding your window of tolerance, this conversation will help you step into your desired reality with more calm, clarity, and confidence—one aligned action at a time.

If you’ve ever thought, “I know what I want, so why am I not doing it?”, this episode is your permission slip to build a life that fits you, not the other way around.

What if you stopped performing for love? In this raw and deeply relatable episode, I'm cracking open the fear of stillness, the pressure to be impressive, and the subtle ways we perform just to feel worthy. From spiraling after a chill weekend to curating confidence after heartbreak, this one is for the overthinkers, the perfectionists, and the ones who secretly feel like they have to "earn" their place in someone’s life.

Whether you're healing from conditional love, navigating post-breakup identity, or just trying to feel okay doing nothing—you’ll walk away feeling seen. It’s not about willpower. It’s about believing you’re enough, even when you’re not impressive.

📌 Plus: a juicy listener question about a “slow burn” or an emotional support situationship you need to weigh in on.

Just because you’re not being fake doesn’t mean you’re being real. This week, we’re untangling the difference between comfort and authenticity—and why the truest version of you might not feel natural at first. I’m sharing stories about showing up loudly, being labeled “scary” (aka confident) by men, and realizing that what I thought was growth was actually just survival mode.

We’re breaking down:

• The myth that discomfort = inauthenticity
• How nervous system dysregulation can make confidence feel impossible
• Why confidence isn’t polished—it’s raw, messy devotion to your real self
• What to do when the version of you you’ve always fantasized about finally shows up—and feels fake

This is your permission to stop calling your loud, vibrant, too-much self “too much.” She’s not fake—she’s free.

PLUS: I answer a listener’s question on how to tell the difference between healing solitude and accidental isolation.

This week’s episode is a full-blown spiral turned breakthrough.

First, I’m breaking down the friendship anxiety no one talks about—the kind that doesn’t hit during the hangout, but after, when you’re stuck replaying everything you said and wondering if you were too much.

Then, we’re talking about what it really means to be “too loud,” “too emotional,” or “too sensitive”—and how being told I’m too much my whole life made me start shrinking myself without even realizing it.

Finally, I’m sharing the secret formula I’ve been using to create a life that actually feels full—without burning out or trying to become a brand-new person overnight. (Spoiler: it’s called the D.A.T.E. method and it might change your life.)

This one’s messy, honest, and low-key healing. If you’ve been feeling like you're spiraling, shrinking, or just going through the motions… this one’s for you.

I’m moving out of my healing den and into my new city life (!!), but before I pack up, I had to sit down and record a mini-episode with three mindsets that are seriously saving my sanity lately. If you’ve been overthinking your future, spiraling after social plans, or stuck in your feelings — this one’s for you. We’re talking:

1. Living in the short term and how to let your calendar hold the weight of your future
2. Giving yourself permission to get it wrong — in friendships, healing, and everyday life
3. Why motion (not reinvention) is the real cure for spirals and sadness

It’s messy, real, and recorded mid-life-shift. Come hang out for a quick dose of self-compassion, mindset shifts, and the chaotic cozy energy of your favorite bestie who’s figuring it out right alongside you. 💌

You don’t need more willpower. You need a new story.

In this episode, I’m breaking down why so many of us feel stuck—even when we’re trying—and how your identity, not your discipline, is what’s really running the show. I’ll share the brain science behind why we repeat the same patterns, the tiny identity anchors that helped me stop tying my worth to productivity, and how to finally shift into the version of you you know is in there… without forcing it.

This one’s for the girl who’s trying, but still feels like she’s failing. You’re not. You’re just focusing on the wrong thing.

If you’ve been spiraling about whether you’re making the right moves, doing enough, or working hard enough to finally live the life you want—this episode is for you. We’re talking about what it actually means to surrender when it feels like doing nothing could cost you everything.

From control as a trauma response to the magnetic power of full receiving mode, this episode walks you through the art of letting go without losing momentum. You’ll learn how to soften your grip when panic hits, how to stop chasing alignment and start attracting it, and why the most powerful thing you can do sometimes… is nothing.

Let this episode be your permission slip to stop forcing it, just for today.
