Saying the Hard Things: How Honesty Heals Anxiety and Burnout

Описание: In this episode, I’m getting really honest about what it actually takes to own your voice and your self-worth—especially when you’ve spent years people-pleasing, peacekeeping, and prioritizing everyone else’s opinions over your own.

I share stories from my own life—walking away from a successful business, losing my marriage, navigating my family dynamics—and how learning to trust my inner voice (even when it cost me everything I thought I wanted) became the foundation of my peace, joy, and mental health.

We’ll talk about:

Why you stay small, doubt yourself, and fear “rocking the boat”
How internalizing everything leads to anxiety, burnout, and even panic attacks
Why verbalizing your emotions (with a safe person or space) is a powerful regulation tool
The role of self-validation vs. chasing approval from partners, parents, or friends
How small, consistent “hard conversations” slowly rewire your brain and build unshakable self-worth.

My hope is that as you listen, you start to recognize where you’re abandoning your own voice—and feel empowered to take one small step toward speaking your truth, even if it feels wildly uncomfortable. You are not broken. You’re just not used to honoring yourself yet.

If this episode hit home, I’d love to support you more deeply.
