The Admission No One Wants to Say Out Loud: “I Don’t Love My Life”
Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is tell the truth: this isn’t working anymore. In this short, honest episode, I talk about what it feels like to admit you don’t love your life — even when everything looks “fine” on the outside. We explore the emotional weight of performing okay, the quiet grief of disconnection, and the first steps toward reclaiming joy without burning everything down. If you’ve been feeling numb, flat, resentful, or like you’ve been living on autopilot… this is your permission slip to get honest — and to choose yourself again.
