17 | I Almost Quit | How I Beat Burnout and Pressed Record Again

The comeback episode is here. I almost quit Growing Wild after twelve months of silence, and the reason I stopped is the same reason a lot of high-functioning women quit the things they love. Spoiler: it is not laziness. It is perfectionism and a whole lot of "I'll just come back stronger" lies.

In this episode, I am telling the truth about the year I disappeared, the marketing conference moment that finally broke me open, and the section of my own Unstuck Yourself workbook that called me out for perfectionism-ing my way out of a podcast I love. If you have ever abandoned something you cared about because you decided it was not good enough, the journal in the drawer, the Etsy shop you stopped logging into, the blog you archived, the song you never finished, this one is for you. I am in it with you.

💬 Why You'll Love This Episode:

• Why high-functioning women quit the things they love (it is rarely about being lazy or busy)
• The one question to ask yourself when perfectionism is stalling out your next move
• Your tiny assignment for this week to break the silence on whatever you have been avoiding

Listen, follow, and share. If this episode hits, send it to one person who needs to hear it. Follow Growing Wild on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen so you do not miss what is next. And if perfectionism is the thing keeping you stuck right now, the workbook section that cracked this open for me lives in Unstuck Yourself, my self-care workbook on getting unstuck, setting boundaries, and building a life you actually like being in.
