I used to think happiness came from fitting in, being liked, and checking all the boxes---relationships, achievements, doing what I thought I was “supposed” to do. But deep down, I felt lost, like I was constantly pretending to be someone I wasn’t.

In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story about what it looked like to chase the wrong kind of happy…and how hitting rock bottom became the turning point that led me back to my true self.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not enough, like you need the approval of others to feel valued or worthy, then this episode is for you!
