In this episode, we’re talking about the pressure to constantly fix yourself, especially in the new year. The quiet belief that you need to lose more, earn more, heal more, or become “better” before you’re allowed to feel happy. But what if you were never broken in the first place? We unpack perfection culture, the exhaustion of treating life like a never-ending self-improvement project, and the idea that happiness is something you have to earn. You are not a project to fix. Life isn’t an exam you have to pass before you can enjoy it. It’s happening now. 🤍 Find me here: https://linktr.ee/idontcarepodcast
