Years of consistent publishing
It started in a closet and never stopped
January 14th, 2021. Alysha and I sat down in the makeshift closet of my bedroom to record Episode 1. We were recording conversations we wished we had heard sooner. Conversations that reframed success, softened shame, and replaced self-policing with self-trust. Just over two years later, we're in the top 5% of podcasts globally and we've received hundreds of messages from listeners confirming what we always knew: perfectionism is harming our lives every day, and we aren't talking about it enough. It grew because it worked. And because we refused to stop.

Where the real conversations live
Start anywhere. Stay longer than you planned.
Three things this podcast actually does
We're not here to fix what was never broken.
Reframing the rules you never agreed to
Unlearning what you were taught to believe about yourself.
Language for the unnamed
Words for the things you've felt but couldn't say.
Permission to live differently
To breathe easier and trust yourself more.
This podcast isn't about hustle. It's not about optimization. And it's definitely not interested in fixing you, because you were never broken. If you're looking for productivity hacks and morning routines, this probably isn't your thing. But if you're looking to breathe a little easier? Pull up a chair.
The conversation is expanding
New formats. New voices. Deeper work. We're currently working to expand the brand to reach more of you in even more impactful ways. Stay tuned. Or don't. We'll find you anyway.
Be cringe.
Be free.
