have you ever felt EXHAUSTED from constantly trying to become a better version of yourself? ⭐️
I think so many of us grew up believing that self-improvement was the answer to everything - build better habits, heal your past, optimize your routine, become more disciplined, become “that girl.” And while growth can be such a beautiful thing, there’s a point where working on yourself can quietly turn into feeling like you’re NEVER enough as you are.
In today’s episode of Glow & Tell, we’re talking about the emotional cost of always trying to improve yourself, when self-awareness becomes self-surveillance, when healing becomes an endless project, and when “becoming” takes you away from actually living.
we’ll talk about:
✨ why self-improvement can start to feel exhausting
✨ the pressure to constantly optimize your life
✨ when discipline starts affecting your self-worth
✨ the difference between growth and trying to “fix” yourself
✨ how to create a healthier relationship with personal growth
✨ learning to be present without feeling like you’re falling behind
Welcome to Glow & Tell 🤍
