Today’s episode is a tender conversation about resentment—not as a villain, but as a quiet messenger trying to bring you home to yourself. Alexa explores how resentment often hides behind words like “busy” or “fine,” when what’s really underneath is a need that’s gone unmet—rest, boundaries, or simply the courage to choose differently.

This episode isn’t a how-to. It’s a deep breath. A soft truth. An invitation to sit with the uncomfortable and realize that what we sometimes resent the most… is how we’ve abandoned ourselves.

When we stop blaming the outside world and start meeting our own needs with compassion, everything changes. Because if we’re the problem—we’re also the answer.
