This podcast is your permission slip to step off autopilot and into something more meaningful. Each week, we explore creative tools, playful philosophy, rebellious optimism, and science-backed strategies to help you feel more alive—not just “okay.” Whether you’re burned out, bored, or bright but buried, you belong here. Let’s reclaim your weirdness, reawaken your joy, and create a life that feels good on purpose. Happiness isn’t fluffy. It’s radical. And you don’t need to be fully healed to choose it.

Tuesday May 06, 2025
What if being a little bad at things was actually the secret to a life that lights you up? In this joyful and insightful conversation, I chat with Brigid Gibson of Vibrant Badass about stress relief, breaking out of perfectionism, and letting joy guide your choices—even when it feels weird, messy, or unproductive. We talk creative identity, stress management tools (like brain dumps and challenge playbooks), and how authenticity is actually the ultimate form of self-care.
