2025/07/27

In this episode, I’m talking about something I’ve recently come to call The Contradiction Crisis: the tension between being high-functioning and highly feeling. I open up about what it’s been like to appear “put together” while managing deeper challenges, and how hard it can be to hold both ambition and emotion at the same time.This is the most vulnerable I’ve ever gotten on the podcast, but I hope it reminds you that you’re not alone if you’re feeling mentally drained and still showing up every

Silent Strength: Staying True to Yourself in a Loud...

Genuine Girl ·

2025/03/13

Silent strength: a quiet confidence that comes from within and that doesn't rely on external validation to make decisions or fuel your worth. It serves as a far more durable foundation than living in external validation ever will; yet so many of us struggle to build this skill when we live in such a loud world that pushes us to prove ourselves.In this episode, I am getting vulnerable about not only why silent strength is a key element of my identity, but also why it has been so difficult for me
