š¢ š¢ š¢ UNIQUE EPISODE FOR BADASS YOUNG ADULTS š¢ š¢š¢
Hi loves -- ever feel like youāre āfailingā at adulthood? And youāre supposed to be sunny and perfect AF and have it āall figured outā now? (But you likeā¦ totally donāt and something itās SO BAD IN YOUR OWN HEAD and you donāt even want to tell anyoneā¦ cause they might get scared). Anyone else ever feel like youāre desperate for people to get how independent you are and treat you like the ADULT YOU ARE ā¦ but also secretly feel like youāre bad at so many thingsā¦ and you need SO MUCH HELP (because life is overwhelming, like all the time)?? And ummā¦ now itās winterā¦ badum. WELCOME TO THE DUMB MYTH OF āADULTHOODā. This episode is a love letter to you -- a tired, sensitive, badass young adultā¦ who wants to reclaim your time, energy and LIFE. Itās time to demystify what I call āthe lie of adulthoodā (Iāll break it down). In this episode of realness, youāll hear me talking about: why itās not your fault things suck, why goals are tricky (and my own sad story of the biggest baddest goal ever achieved), drinking + anxiety, sensitivity as a superpower, how if you want to āsave the worldā youāve got to include yourself, and so much else! I love you! Be fierce, be soft -- and trust yourself -- youāve got this, dear one. XO, from a fellow sensitive, messed up, complex, wonderful feeler (+ big sister) -- Eliza
