Episode 57: Feeling Behind in Life? Here’s the Truth You Need to HEar

If you’ve ever felt like you’re falling behind, whether it’s in your career, your relationships, your finances, or just life in general, this episode is for you. (Also, trust me, we’ve all been there.)


In today’s episode, I’m unpacking the pressures to keep up, the myth of “being behind,” and the sneaky trap of comparison. We chat about focusing on what you actually want to achieve (not your friends, parents, or society) and the reminder that life’s successes and failures are not linear. I get candid about how these feelings have shown up in my own life, from weddings and babies to career pivots and personal growth, and why it’s beautiful that we all bloom at our own pace.


I also share a lovely mantra that I discovered that reframes the idea of “falling behind” and instead helps you fall into your own life.

Black cats make up roughly one-third of the total Black cats make up roughly one-third of the total animal shelter population, and yet they have much longer waiting times and lower adoption rates. Sadly, superstitions still play a role in this. ☹️

In Japan, black cats are symbols of good luck! They are said to ward off evil, bring luck in love, and increase financial success and prosperity! 🍀 

We love our lucky Lucy! Have you had a black cat before? Maybe this is your sign to get one! 🖤

I’m not sure who made the “no white after Labor Da I’m not sure who made the “no white after Labor Day” rule, but clearly I’m disregarding 😂🤍

A perfect weekend escape to Paso Robles thanks to A perfect weekend escape to Paso Robles thanks to @pasoroblesinn 💕

You know I love a rooftop dinner, and @salina_rooftop did not disappoint! The pizzas were so good! 🍕 

Do you enjoy visiting Paso Robles too? It’s a little over a two-hour drive for us, but not bad at all! 🚗
