About this episode
This week, I’m talking about those moments when life feels heavy: grief, overwhelm, and the urge to retreat into isolation. I share how a conversation with my best friend shifted my perspective: maybe the Universe isn’t working against me, but actually working for me.
In this episode, I get into:
✨ Why isolating when you’re down can be harmful (yes, the science backs this up)
✨ How community, even when we don’t want it, can be medicine
✨ The importance of doing the things we don’t feel like doing, from workouts to cookouts
✨ How cultivating connection is really an act of self-care
And yes, I close with a little TV talk — Big Brother has me in a full-on love/hate spiral this season.
If you’ve been feeling low or tempted to pull away, this one’s for you.
