Are you running on auto-pilot? Anxiously waiting to go to bed just to start all over again the next day? It can be completely disheartening to constantly feel like you’re in survival mode, making your way through each day not because you want to, but because you have to. We’ve been there too. In today’s episode we talk through living in survivial mode and some of the unintended consequences from these feelings i.e lack of motivation, loss of purpose, anxiety, and depression. We are in no way professionals but simply provide our experience in hopes it helps you navigate yours.

We often find ourselves longing for past versions of who we were - those days of youth, different circumstances, or perhaps a version of us that felt more whole. But the truth is, life is a continuous flow of change, and clinging to these past selves can hinder our growth and happiness. We also can't go back to a time where we don't hold the information and experiences that we do now. Whether you're feeling stuck in nostalgia or struggling to accept changes in your life, this episode is a gentle reminder that every version of you is valuable and a necessary part of your journey.

In today’s episode we dive into the feelings of inadequacy and the facade of false confidence. I’m sure we’ve all experienced situations where we felt out of our depth or displayed confidence we really didn’t have. The reality is that we all feel stupid sometimes, it’s normal. But we don’t have to move through life with false confidence. Remember staring at that test paper, feeling like you knew nothing despite all the studying?
