You ever have one of those “aha” moments where you realize the reason life feels so damn hard… is because you keep making it harder? 😅
🧡 The Vibe
This episode is me sitting with myself — hoodie, unfiltered thoughts, and all — finally answering the question I should’ve asked a long time ago: What does it actually mean to simplify life’s beautiful bitchiness?
I get real about how chronic illness, motherhood, and running a business forced me to slow down and stop over-engineering everything. From being a “recovering doer of all things” to learning how to ask for help, I share what it’s looked like to stop living by the algorithm and start living by alignment.
No surprise, simplifying isn’t about doing less, it’s about doing what fits you.
✨ Takeaway Moment
Simplifying life’s beautiful bitchiness means slowing down long enough to see where you’re overcomplicating what was never meant to be that hard, and giving yourself permission to make it easier. 🧡
