Getting older comes with a lot of gifts, and one of the best ones is realizing just how many things you used to stress about that genuinely don't matter anymore. This episode is a direct follow-up to last week's on confidence and being alone, and it's a little different than usual...no script, no notes, just me riffing on the 15 things I've intentionally stopped caring about that have made my life SO much happier.
Topics covered:
ππ» The cardinal rule I now have about whose opinions are even allowed in my head
ππ» Why I stopped fearing being single, and what actually changed my mind
ππ» Why hustle culture and looking busy stopped being things I care about at all
ππ» Why quality over quantity applies to friendships just as much as everything else
ππ» Why I let go of having the "perfect" routine and what I built instead
