What to Do When You’re Tired of Trying to Figure It All Out

Published on: 8th May, 2025

If you’ve been waking up tired, physically, emotionally, or creatively then this episode is for you.

Whether you're balancing a 9–5 while dreaming of more, or stuck in the fog of “how do I even start?”, I see you. I’ve been you. In this deeply personal episode, I’m sharing the moment I got fired with no backup plan and how that pause became the first real step toward clarity.

This isn’t about hustle or forcing a plan. It’s about honoring the season you’re in, learning how to pause with purpose, and hearing what your life is really trying to tell you.

You’ll hear:

  • The truth about soul-level exhaustion (and why it’s not failure)
  • What stillness actually gave me after years of survival mode
  • How to soften your way into clarity, even when nothing makes sense
  • 4 gentle tools I wish I had back then, and how they support me now

📔 Plus: I’ll share a journaling prompt to help you release the pressure and hear your own voice again.

✨ Your softness isn’t weakness. It’s the beginning of becoming.
