Trying Not to Care

What if the thing people call you "cringe" for today is the very thing that makes you successful tomorrow? In this episode, I talk about why pursuing the unconventional route often comes with criticism, judgment, and very little support at the beginning. People tend to make fun of others who choose to live their lives differently, but the truth is: people often mock what they secretly wish they had the courage to do themselves.
If you've ever felt judged for putting yourself out there, posting online, chasing a creative dream, or choosing a path that people around you don't understand, this episode is your reminder...first you're weird, then you're the blueprint.
Today's episode covers: 

Why people call you "cringe" before you become successful

Projection and why your courage triggers others

Tall Poppy Syndrome and why people cut down those who stand out 

What it feels like to be early when building something new 

How persistence beats validation when chasing long-term success

Welcome to your post-Valentine's Day clarity episode 🥴 If the past month has had you randomly thinking about your ex and wondering if you actually miss them… consider this your sign that you probably don’t miss them, you’re just lonely.
In this episode, I talk about how nostalgia can trick us into romanticizing the past, why missing someone doesn’t always mean you want them back, and how loneliness can blur the line between love and familiarity. You don't miss THEM, you just miss having someone.
