Ep. 15: How I rebuilt my week around my brain
What if chasing "ease" is the very thing making your life harder?
In this episode, I crack open the mental loops I've been stuck in lately. From overcomplicating everything in the name of productivity to questioning my worth in a room full of entrepreneurs.
It's raw, chaotic, and weirdly reassuring if your brain also has 40,000 tabs open. I share what led me to declare 2026 the "Year of Ease," how ADHD fuels my obsession with systems, and why sometimes the pursuit of ease creates more noise.
You'll hear the real-time journalling epiphany that helped me reset, how I'm building rhythm into my workdays, and the tiny but powerful change in how I'm communicating with Jared. Plus, a reminder that even when you're doubting everything, you're still allowed to take up space.
If you need a laugh-cry episode that validates the chaos in your brain and helps you feel a little less alone in it, this one is for you.
