When Hustle Turns Into Burnout
Aligned & A Little Unhinged
High performers don’t quit. They just slowly lose themselves trying to hold everything together. Burnout doesn’t show up as collapse at first. It shows up as irritability. Brain fog. Emotional numbness. Resentment toward the life you worked so hard to build. In this episode, we break down: • Why burnout is common in driven, capable people • How “pushing through” actually makes it worse • What to do when rest doesn’t even feel restful anymore • And how to rebuild capacity without losing your edge This isn’t about doing less. It’s about learning how to sustain more —...

Aligned & A Little Unhinged
Your relationship with conflict reveals your relationship with yourself. Do you shut down? People-please? Get defensive? Over-explain? Pull away before you can be left?

You Don’t Need Better Goals. You Need an Identity Shift
Aligned & A Little Unhinged
Every January we set goals with the best intentions… and every February we’re right back where we started. In this episode, we break down why New Year’s resolutions don’t stick—and why goal setting fails when it’s built on willpower instead of identity. We talk about the missing piece no one is teaching you: becoming the person who already lives the life you’re chasing. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about being different. We dive into identity shifts, embodiment, and the practical tools that help you stop starting over and finally create lasting change—mentally,...

Confidence is BUILT.
Aligned & A Little Unhinged
Confidence is one of the most misunderstood things in personal growth. In this episode of Aligned & A Little Unhinged, we break down what confidence is not, and what it actually is. We debunk the myths that keep people chasing approval, perfection, and external validation, and explain why none of that creates real self-trust. We talk about confidence as a skill, not a personality trait. Something you build through action, consistency, and learning to keep promises to yourself. If you’ve ever felt like confident people were just “born that way,” this episode will completely shift how...

The ones who want to be aligned, but aren’t afraid to be a little unhinged in the process. Here, we’ll be talking...
